PBL (PROJECT BASED

LEARNING)
A theory of learning that promotes students
learning by doing in order to answer a
complex question.
PBL asks a question or poses a problem that
ALL students can answer. Concrete, hands-on
experiences come together during projectbased learning.
PBL allows students to investigate issues and
topics in real-world problems.
