Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogical approach that emphasizes learning through active engagement in real-world and meaningful projects. Unlike traditional instructional methods, which often revolve around passive absorption of information and standardized testing, PBL tasks students with investigating and responding to complex questions, problems, or challenges over an extended period.
