philosophy of pragmatism.
 Learners dictionary as a ‘plan of action’.

 ‘A project is a unit of wholehearted purposeful activity

 ‘As a bit of real life that has been imported in to the school.
- Ballard
In project method, teaching and learning are considered
from the child’s point of view and in this method
knowledge and skills are learnt by pupils through practical
handling of problem in their natural setting. This method is
an ideal way of promoting creativity, arousing curiosity
and including the spirit of enquiry among the students.
However, in this method teaching is more or less
incidental.

Knowledge of purpose is a great stimulus which
motivates the child to realize his goal. Purpose motivates
learning.
