Project Based Learning Essentials

& Definition

Project Based Learning- Essentials



What is Project-Based Learning ? How is PBL different from traditional approaches to teaching and learning ? Why is PBL appropriate for the intervention classroom ? How are PBL units designed ? How does Research support PBL ? Driving questions and projects that are important to Students, Faculties and Research Scholars ?



Project Based Learning – Definition

A systematic teaching method that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks.

Serve as facilitator Model thinking and problem-solving strategies effectively

Structure meaningful tasks Work with students to frame worthwhile questions

Manage the structure of multiple day-to-day activities to produce high quality outcomes

Teach students to set goals

Instructor’s Role( Meta-cognitive Coaches )



Set goals Explore and ask questions Work well with peers Stay accountable to self, peers, and teacher for project outcomes

Student’s Role



Increases student motivation and engagement in learning.

Is more effective that traditional instruction in increasing academic achievement.

Improves student retention of knowledge over time.

Improves mastery of 21st century skills. Is especially effective with lower-achieving students.

Conclusion The purpose of our paper is to present a generalized approach in learning Embedded systems and Intelligent systems Design.

It is based on combination of traditional or conventional (face to face) learning and project based learning methodologies.

This methodology presents proposed formulation of school of interdisciplinary science and technology in every college and university across Madhya Pradesh
