Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational approach in which students actively engage in real-world and meaningful projects, allowing them to acquire deeper knowledge and skills as they investigate and respond to complex questions, problems, or challenges. Rather than passively receiving information through traditional lectures, students in PBL environments work on extended tasks that require critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication.

Teachers, in turn, serve as facilitators and guides, providing scaffolding, feedback, and support whenever needed. Assessment in […]
