「Project-Based Learning for the 21st Century: Skills for the Future」論文評析

Abstract: Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an innovative
approach to learning that teaches a multitude of strategies
critical for success in the twenty-first century. Students
drive their own learning through inquiry, as well
as work collaboratively to research and create projects
that reflect their knowledge. From gleaning new, viable
technology skills, to becoming proficient communicators
and advanced problem solvers, students benefit
from this approach to instruction.
