4. What is PBL(Project Based Learning)?
A project is an activity in which time constraints has been largely removed (compared to an
examination) and can be undertaken individually or by a group, and usually involves a significant
element of work being done at home or out of school (Firth and Mackintosh, 1987).
In project, the whole work process is as important as the final result or product.
Project work is an integrated learning experience that encourages students to break away from
the compartmentalisation of knowledge and instead involves drawing upon different aspects of
knowledge.
provides an opportunity for students to explore different approaches in solving problems

6. Why PBL?
- Peer learning can improve the overall quality of student learning
- Group work can help develop specific generic skills sought by employers.
◦ Collaborative skills, organisational and time management skills, analytical and cognitive skills,
teamwork skills
- Group work may reduce the workload involved in assessing, grading and providing feedback to
students.
- it is an opportunity to boost up the higher order thinking skills of students.

7. Types of Project:
1. Research- based Project
◦ More theoretical in nature
◦ may consist of putting a question, formulating a problem or setting up some hypotheses
◦ Eg. Educational project, science research project
2. Product-based Project
◦ Production of concrete object, a service
◦ A dance performance, a film, an exhibition, play, a computer programme

Student centred
A definite beginning, middle, and end
Content meaningful to students; directly observable in their environment
Real-world problems
Firsthand investigation
Sensitivity to local culture and culturally appropriate
Specific goals related to curriculum
A tangible product that can be shared with the intended audience
Connections among school, life, and work skills
Opportunity for reflective thinking and student self-assessment
Authentic assessments (portfolios, journals, etc.)
