A review of research on project-based learning

This review examines research related to a teaching and learning model popularly referred to as "Project-Based Learning " (PBL). All of the research on Project-Based Learning has taken place in the past ten years and most of it in just the last few years. Since there is not a large body of PBL research, the review is inclusive rather than selective. The review covers eight topics: * A definition of Project-Based Learning, * Underpinnings of PBL research and practice, * Evaluative research: research on the effectiveness of PBL, * The role of student characteristics in PBL, * Implementation research: challenges associated with enacting PBL, * Intervention research: research on improving the effectiveness of PBL, * Conclusions, and * Future directions for PBL research.
