Active Learning through Project-Based Education

This course is designed to help teachers enhance active learning in their classrooms through the use of project-based education. Project-based learning (PBL) fosters problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration while creating an active learning environment. According to Thomas (2000), PBL significantly increases students’ deep learning experiences and helps retain knowledge over time. Furthermore, Barron & Darling-Hammond (2008) emphasize the role of PBL in developing students’ social skills.

Course Methodology

The course is based on hands-on activities and group work, focusing on how to effectively implement project-based education and active learning techniques. Participants will create their own projects to experience how this method can be applied in their classrooms. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, supported by references from reliable sources such as the EU, OECD, and UNESCO.
