Project Based Learning – An Introduction

Project-Based Learning is an application-based approach that encourages students to learn and apply knowledge and skills through an engagement-based learning process, that we at Kaintal School, among the best schools in Patiala offer. With project-based learning, we offer opportunities to promote deeper learning which is important for development and makes your child career ready.

Here are a few pointers that would help you understand the approach of project-based learning better:

·       Interdisciplinary

As project-based learning focuses on engaging the students with the real world, application-based problems and it is inter-disciplinary in nature because any life problem you face it is dynamic and is never solved by using an informative approach rather requires students to engage in inquiry, and to come up with solutions to help address the real-world issue or the challenge faced.

·       Comprehensive

Unlike rote learning, project-based learning requires the use and application of knowledge & skills and not just depend upon recall or recognition. It is more complex as it assesses how students apply a plethora of academic content in new contexts. The students begin the project and follow a process that begins with an inquiry. Inquiry leads to deeper learning, not just related to the academic front, but also related to the use of content in real-world life scenarios.

·       Student-Centered

When we look at project-based learning, the focus gets shifted from teacher to student. There is more independent working through the process wherein the teacher provides support only when required. The students are encouraged and motivated to make their own decisions, in a way that it reflects their understanding. There is ownership of work and a sense of confidence in the minds of students when they’re made to have a real-life based approach to project-based learning.
