week 12: PBL as a great teaching method


(Seven Essentials for Project-Based Learningand Benefits of project work)


PBL as a great teaching method



Something that called my attention in this week was about Project -based learning (PBL). I found interesting information that I immediately wanted to share with a colleague was the benefits to implement this type of learning method. PBL offers flexibility when planning content and create opportunities, interactions and learning new skills.

The purpose of this method is to provide structures in which students will demonstrate mastery of a subject by creating, and also presenting a research- based project. This can allow students to foster their interest in a topic. Moreover, Project-based learning can assess the students' knowledge of concept , content and skills .PBL also allow learners to develop critical thinking , improved their language , increase metacognitive awareness , decision-making abilities, improve students' attention of the class , students' motivation , improved their social skills , and a familiarity with the target language resources.

Finally, projects are a dynamic way to help students to show their understanding. Teachers can implement in their lesson some activities that create a meaningful learning such as, driving questions, student’s voice and choice and inquiry and innovation. As a conclusion, educators can design final products to ensure success for all students by creating multiple opportunities for students to interact with their ideas.

  1. I agree with you Nicole project-based learning allows students to develop their critical thinking by providing structure in which students can demonstrate the mastering of the language. I think that as teachers the use of project is a good idea because students are free to demonstrate their knowledge by presenting their research in the project-based.
