The document discusses the project method of teaching and learning. It originated from agricultural clubs and vocational courses where students engaged in hands-on activities to produce tangible results. The project method involves students directing purposeful activities to solve problems and achieve definite goals in a natural setting. It has benefits like maintaining student interest and developing skills, but also risks like overconsumption of time. Nursing education can effectively use the project method, with examples like students creating miniature hospital beds or surveying their school to improve health conditions.
