What Is It?
Project-based learning is an instructional strategy in which students work cooperatively over time to create a product, presentation, or performance. The two essential components of project-based learning are an engaging and motivating question and a product that meaningfully addresses that question.
Important characteristics of project-based learning, according to The Road Ahead Background Papers, a report prepared by ISTE, include the following:
- Students can shape the project to fit their own interests and abilities.
- Students collect and analyze information, make discoveries, and report their results.
- Students conduct research using multiple sources of information.
- The project cuts across a number of disciplines.
- Students must draw on a broad range of knowledge and skills.
- The project extends over a significant period of time.
- The project involves the design and development of a product, presentation, or performance that can be used or viewed by others.
- The context for the subject matter is larger than the immediate lesson.
- The instruction and facilitation is guided by a broad range of teaching goals.
Problem-based learning is an instructional strategy in which students work cooperatively to investigate and resolve an ill-structured problem based on real-world issues or situations. The steps involved in problem-based learning include:
- determining what the problem is;
- creating a specific statement of the problem;
- identifying the information needed;
- identifying the resources to be used to find that information;
- developing a possible solution;
- analyzing and refining the solution;
- presenting the final solution, orally and/or in writing.
Project-based learning and problem-based learning have a great deal in common. Both
- involve realistic problems and situations.
- are based on authentic educational goals.
- include formative and summative evaluation,
- are learner centered and teacher facilitated.
- are intrinsically engaging and motivating.
- are frequently multidisciplinary.
- Improve students‘ research and problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to work cooperatively with their peers.
The difference between the two lies largely in their application: Problem-based learning focuses on the problem and the process, while project-based learning focuses on the product.
