Project-based learning is an educational approach that centers around students actively exploring real-world problems and challenges. Instead of just receiving information passively, students engage in hands-on projects that require them to investigate, research, collaborate, and solve problems.
Project-based learning offers several benefits. It promotes active learning, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. By engaging with real-world problems, students can see the relevance of their learning and develop a deeper understanding of concepts. It also prepares them for the complexities of the modern world, where interdisciplinary skills and adaptability are crucial.
