Benefits of Project-Based Learning

The document discusses the merits of the project method for teaching students. It promotes the development of critical thinking skills as students use scientific methods to solve problems. Students remain actively engaged and interested as they develop coordination between body and mind. It also promotes social interaction and cooperation as students work in groups to gather information, helping them become responsible citizens. As students acquire knowledge through their own efforts, they retain information permanently. Projects are mostly classroom-based, reducing homework loads. Students have freedom to work based on their interests and abilities, satisfying psychological needs. The method is student-centered and provides opportunities to satisfy interests while aiding in the teaching of science. The teacher plays a facilitative role rather than an expert role.
