learning is linked to significant improvements in student test scores , attendance and classroom engagement . It also gives teachers the opportunity to build stronger relationships with their students by acting as their hands-on learning facilitator .
In essence , PBL is an instructional method where students collaborate with others and “ learn by doing .” The same skills learned through PBL are also many of the skills sought by their employers later .
There are at least 10 benefits of project-based learning and how it can better prepare our kids with life skills that set them up for future success .
1 . Collaboration : Relationships formed during collaboration is a huge part of PBL . Not only do students learn how to work better in groups — providing their own input , listening to others , and resolving conflicts when they arise — they build positive relationships with teachers , which reinforces how great learning is . For example , in our project we have met many times for our mutual activities , starting with introducing ourselves and ending with project work such as Padlet , interviews about friends , questionnaires , too .
2 . Problem Solving : Students learn how to solve problems that are important to them , including real community issues , more effectively — even learning from failure and possibly starting over . We had debates and activities about friends traits , both positive and negative ones . Case studies were discussed , too .
