Project-Based Learning (PBL)

Positioning AI as a mentor or simulator of real-world scenarios can promote student inquiry and aid project-based learning.

Teachers can use this approach to project-based learning to help ensure that the final product comes from truly engaged learning.

Project-based learning can cultivate collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking across the grades.

Giving students a design challenge—and a compelling reason to delve into complex engineering—makes them more engaged, motivated, and committed to deepening their own understanding.

Denmark has fully embraced playful learning in its K–12 schools. We visited two schools to see the pedagogical approach in action.

Assignments that are bigger than a lesson and smaller than a unit are a good way to experiment with inquiry-based learning.

With shared emphases on inquiry, student voice, and choice, PBL and International Baccalaureate methods can combine to facilitate meaningful learning.

Reflecting on learning and student voice and choice are core elements of project-based learning, and they’re also key to differentiation.

With appropriate scaffolding, multilingual students can successfully engage in all phases of PBL.

A new study shows that when implemented well, AP courses built around project-based learning can raise test scores for all students, including those in traditionally underserved demographics.

Elementary students need rich content knowledge to become better readers and to be able to engage in project-based learning.

With the proper scaffolding, students can provide feedback on their classmates’ projects in the target language.

The idea of bringing PBL into your classroom can be both intriguing and overwhelming, but there are many tips and resources to help you get started.

People, places, and problems offer rich opportunities for real-world learning. This unit design framework ensures engaging, aligned learning objectives, experiences, and assessments.
