Keywords:
play-based learning, authentic learning, inquiry-driven exploration, collaboration, 21st-century skills, student autonomy.Abstract
Project-based learning (PBL) has emerged as a powerful pedagogical approach that engages students in authentic, real-world problem-solving experiences. Unlike traditional classroom instruction, which often focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, PBL empowers students to apply their knowledge and skills to meaningful projects that address real-world challenges and issues. By immersing students in hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences, PBL fosters creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and a deep understanding of subject matter—all while preparing students for success in an ever-changing world.
