Implementing Project-Based Learning
Keywords:
Project-Based Learning, Teacher Training, Curriculum Alignment, Educational Outcomes, Standardized TestingAbstract
The article explains how Project-Based Learning (PBL) engages students in real-world tasks, enhancing their understanding, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. It also claims that PBL encourages deep learning and the development of soft skills. However, challenges include project organization, time management, and aligning with curriculum standards. The importance of Teacher training and collaboration and use of technology is also mentioned as they can help overcome difficulties
