    Project-Based Learning: Benefits, Examples, and Resources

    Project-based learning is a teaching method where students gain and apply


    skills by working on a long project where they complete an in-depth inquiry
    into a specific topic or question.

    Benefits
     It is exciting for students. Student interest equals engagement, which will
    raise your test scores without all that boring test prep.
     It allows students to see how multiple standards and skills work together in
    real-life situations
     Students work to investigate the concepts by making their own choices.
    Once you’ve set up the parameters, the students do all the work.
     Students learn how to solve problems that are important to them, including
    real community issues, more effectively—even learning from failure and
    possibly starting over.
     Students learn to look at problems with a critical thinking lens, asking
    questions and coming up with possible solutions for their project.
     Students take ownership over their projects, reflecting on and celebrating
    their progress and accomplishments.
     Students learn how to manage projects and assignments more
    efficiently.

    Examples

     Design an app with a specific purpose for a specific audience.


     Writing a research paper and conducting research on a topic of interest to a
    student
     Making a compelling case for a viewpoint other than your own on any issue.

    business
