PROJECT BASED LEARNING
It develops the Student’s ability to work with his or her peers, building teamwork and group skills. It allows the instructor to learn more about the student as a person. It helps the instructor communicate in progressive and meaningful ways with the student or a group of students on a range of issues.
A research-based project is one in which the primary goal is to acquire knowledge of some kind or to resolve some kind of uncertainty rather than producing a tangible product as a deliverable.
Project-based learning, as with all lessons, requires much preparation and planning. It begins with an idea and an essential question. When you are designing the project and the essential question that will launch the activities, it is important to remember that many content standards will be addressed. With these standards in mind, devise a plan that will integrate as many subjects as possible into the project.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: TEACHING GUIDE

• Project-based learning (PBL) should involve students designing, developing, and constructing hands-on solutions to a problem.
• It should build students creative capacity to work through difficult or ill-structured problems, commonly in small teams.
• PBL should go through following phases or steps.
• Identifying a problem.
• Agreeing on or devising a solution and potential solution path to the problem (i.e., how to achieve the solution)
• Designing and developing a prototype of the solution.
• Refining the solution based on feedback from experts, instructors, and/or peers.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (PBL)

• As a pedagogical approach, PBL entails several key processes:
• Defining problems in terms of given constraints or challenges.
• Generating multiple ideas to solve a given problem.
• Prototyping- often in rapid iteration- potential solutions to a problem.
• Testing the developed solution products or services in a “Live” or authentic setting.
