Project-based Learning (PBL)

Work methodology in which the student is responsible for their own learning by researching and resolving a hypothesis presented by the teacher.

How does it work?

Project-based Learning (PBL) consists of organising learning objectives from part or all of a subject curriculum around a challenge: the creation of a project. This project is based on a real potential professional situation students may encounter and is normally done in groups.

Learning is practical and inductive, where the teacher gradually introduces knowledge according to the difficulties encountered or how the project develops.

Phases or Stages:

Setting the challenge
Group formation
Challenge analysis
Challenge solution
Project creation
Project presentation
