identify key features of managing and assessing PBL;

Project-based learning, (PBL) is the use of classroom projects, where students use technology and inquiry to engage with issues and questions that are relevant to their lives. These classroom projects are used to assess student's subject matter competence compared to traditional testing.

What is Project Based Learning (PBL)

Real-world problems capture students'

interest, as the students acquire and

apply new knowledge

in a problem-solving context.

The teacher plays the role of

facilitator, working with

students to frame worthwhile

questions, structuring meaningful

tasks, coaching both knowledge

development and social skills,

and carefully assessing what

students have learned from the

experience.
