Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach designed for active learning processes. In PBL, students produce solutions to real-life problems. While they are trying to find solutions for a defined problem, they collect, classify, and comprehend data. As PBL is a student-centred approach; it is motivational because it appeals to the students' personal differences and supports students' socialization, thinking, and self-regulation skills. PBL focuses on individual differences in a learning process whereas the evaluation of the PBL focuses on multiple points of view. Some of the basic evaluation techniques are performance-based assessment, portfolio, journal, authentic assessment (rubric). There are 13 different project-based learning approaches including community studies, designing technological gadgets, environmental projects, expeditionary projects, field study, foxfire approach, micro-society studies, museum approach, problem-based approach, project approach in early childhood education, senior project approach, service learning, and work-based learning approaches.
