What Is Project-
Based Learning?
Project-based learning (PBL) or project-based
instruction is an instructional approach
designed to give students the opportunity to
develop knowledge and skills through
engaging projects set around challenges and
problems they may face in the real world.
PROJECT -BASED LEARNING VS. PROBLEM-
BASED LEARNING
Project based learning is similar to problem based learning
in that students work toward a shared goal, usually as part
of a collaborative effort. The key difference between these
approaches is that in PBL students usually work toward a
solution with no single (or predetermined) solution whereas
problem based learning often has a specific answer to a
question.
What Are the Essential
Elements of Project-Based
Learning?
Although definitions and project
parameters may vary from school to
school, and PBL is sometimes used
interchangeably with “experiential
learning” or “discovery learning,” the
characteristics of project-based learning
are clear, constant, and share the spirit of
John Dewey’s instrumentalism.
In essence, the PBL
model consists of
these seven(7)
characteristics:
7 CHARACTERISTICS
Focuses on a big and open-ended question, challenge, or problem for
the student to research and respond to and/or solve.
Brings what students should academically know, understand, and be
able to do into the equation
Is inquiry-based, stimulates intrinsic curiosity, and generates questions
as it helps students seek answers
Uses 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, communication,
collaboration, and creativity, among others.
Builds student choice into the process
Provides opportunities for feedback and revision of the plan and the
project, just like in real life
Requires students to present their problems, research process, methods,
and results, just as scientific research or real-world projects must stand
before peer review and constructive criticism.
Following fifteen years of literature review
and distilled educational experience, the Buck
Institute for Education identified seven
essential elements for PBL that focus on
project design. Collectively these elements are
called Gold Standard PBL. According to the
BIE, the key elements to project design
include:
-A challenging problem or question
-Sustained inquiry
-Authenticity
-Student voice and choice
-Reflection
-Critique and revision
-Public product
Support for Project Based
Learning:
•Many advocates of PBL believe that this mode of
teaching is a high-engagement method that
improves student learning (Krajcik & Blumenfeld,
2006) although research supporting this position is
not highly conclusive.
•This problem of defining evidence becomes
increasingly difficult when PBL is implemented
outside of math and laboratory sciences where
learning is less easy to measure (Thomas, 2000).
Obstacles, Limitations, and
Considerations for Project Based
Learning:
Some teachers and administrators may be
hesitant to adopt PBL because of a need or
desire to closely adhere to state or district
teaching standards and curriculum, and
while PBL can provide rich learning
experiences for students, the problems
themselves may not fit very well into
curriculum (Blumfield and Krajcik, 2006).
Benefits of Project-Based
Learning:
Too often, traditional learning never ventures beyond the
realm of the purely academic. Project-based learning
connects students to the world beyond the classroom and
prepares them to accept and meet challenges in the real
world in a way that mirrors what professionals do every day.
Challenges of Project-
Based Learning:
The Intel Corporation identified several reasons why project-
based learning can represent such a radical departure from
what we are used to in education: PBL requires you to coach
more and instruct less, to embrace interdisciplinary learning
instead of remaining locked in single-subject silos, and to be
more comfortable with uncertainty and discovery during the
learning process.

Project-Based Learning Lesson Plans:
The Buck Institute also provides a hub for PBL lesson plans
that align to Common Core standards. They make it easy to
search their database by the source of the lesson plan, the
subject, and the course.
