Project-Based
Learning
- PBL is a teaching method in which students
gain knowledge and skills by working for an
extended period of time to investigate and
respond to a complex question, problem, or
challenge.
- Project-based learning can involve, but is not limited to:
Asking and refining questions, Debating ideas, Making
predictions, Designing plans and/or experiments,
Collecting and analyzing data, Drawing conclusions,
Communicating ideas and findings to others, Asking new
questions, and Creating artifacts.
- Teacher's Role
- Teachers support students by giving
sufficient guidance and feedback.
- The teacher must thoroughly explain all tasks that are to be
completed, provide detailed directions for how to develop the
project.
- Walk around the classroom in
order to answer questions and
encourage student motivation.
- In order to create successful units focused
on project-based learning, teachers must
plan well and be flexible.
- Teachers often find themselves in the
role of learner and peer with the
students.
- Teachers support students by giving
sufficient guidance and feedback.
- Assessment
- We can assess PBL with a combination of
objective tests, checklists, and rubrics;
however, these often only measure task
completion. The inclusion of a reflective writing
component provides for self-evaluation of
student learning.

- Student's Role
- Students generally work in small,
collaborative groups in the
project-based learning model.
- They find sources, conduct research,
and hold each other responsible for
learning and the completion of tasks.
- Students must be
“self-managers” in this
approach to instruction.
