Project-based learning (PBL) is proposed as an engaging teaching method that develops 21st century skills. PBL presents complex, open-ended questions around key concepts and keeps students invested through collaborative work on authentic projects. It incorporates technology, inquiry approaches, and higher-order thinking. Students demonstrate their learning through products or performances for real audiences, assessing their development of global competence and perspective consciousness. PBL with a global focus (PBL[g]) includes awareness of cultural dimensions and opportunities for cross-cultural interaction through technology to integrate these aspects into the learning process.
