Abstract

Educating through purpose is the foundation of several methods that use projects to organize instruction. Although these methods are quite similar, there are some important conceptual differences that are currently at risk of being overlooked due to similarities in terminology. The project method, project based learning, and the project approach, are all valid approaches to instructional delivery. It is unfortunate that the confusion created by the terminology appears to be creating isolated discussions. The purpose of this article is to identify some of the similarities and differences among these methods in the hope of encouraging new developments in project-related instruction.
