Characteristics of Project Based Learning

 

Students make decisions, and they have a framework in which to do so.

There’s a problem without a predetermined solution.

Students design the process for reaching a solution.

Students are responsible for accessing and managing the information they gather.

Evaluation takes place continuously.

Students regularly reflect on what they’re doing.

A final product (not necessarily material) is produced and is evaluated for quality.

The classroom has an atmosphere that tolerates error and change.
