    Project method is an educational approach that originated from John Dewey's ideas of pragmatism and experiential learning. It focuses on having students work on real-world projects related to their lives and interests. Through projects, students can integrate learning across subjects and apply their knowledge to solve problems or achieve goals. Key aspects of the project method include choosing a meaningful project, planning it, executing it through hands-on work, evaluating progress, and recording the process and results. While it has benefits like being psychologically engaging and practical, it also has limitations such as being difficult for teachers to implement and not suitable for covering full curricula.

    PROJECT METHOD

    Project method is the outcome of the


    pragmatism idea propagated by Sir John
    Dewey. What is to be taught should have a
    direct relationship with the actual
    happenings in life this central idea forms
    the basis of project method. The principle of
    correlation has been given a very practical
    shape through this method as it tries to
    impart education of all the subjects in an
    integrated way by correlating them with the
    real life activities.

    Definition
    According to Stevenson A project is a
    problematic act carried to completion in its most
    natural setting.
    According to Kilpatrik A project is a whole
    hearted purposeful activity proceeding in a social
    environment.
    .

    Characteristics
    A project is an act related to actual
    life activities.
    It is that activity which is undertaken
    to solve an emerging or felt problem
    or to realise some useful and
    purposeful objectives.
    It is always completed in a
    environment and natural setting.
    It is such act which is most
    interesting and absorbing.

    How to work with project


    method
    Providing a situation In this step, a
    situation is provided to the students
    to think over in choosing some
    project to work on.
    Choosing and purposing.In this
    second step, students try to choose a
    definite and appropriate project
    keeping in view of the resources in
    hand and the nature of the problem
    faced in the first step.

    Planning of the project The project chosen is


    again discussed in terms of laying down a
    plan and procedure for the execution of the
    project
    Executing the project In this step, students are
    engaged in the execution of the project in a
    natural way without involving any artificiality.
    Evaluation of the project IN this step, the work
    done on the project is evaluated from time to
    time.

    Recording of the project This step is


    concerned with the task of recording.
    How the project was chosen,planned
    and executed. What type of
    difficulties were faced and how they
    were solved. Aii these things noted
    by the students, are properly
    recorded for future guidance.

    Merits of project method


    Psychological method

    Practical method

    Limitation of Project method

    Difficulty on the part of teacher


    Uneconomical method
    Not suitable for teaching method
    Difficulty in covering the syllabus
    Not suitable to the present day
    school conditions

    CONCLUSION
    In this way project method, irrespective of
    having so many good points on its credit
    side, suffers from so many handicaps and
    limitations.It is clear that in no case project
    method may be taken as a reliable method
    of teaching mathematics.Incidental
    teaching always needs a support from the
    organised classroom teaching.The present
    classroom teaching cannot be replaced by
    project method teaching.
