Project Based Learning: What and Why
What is Project Based Learning?
https://www.pblworks.org/what-is-pbl
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects (What is PBL). The students engage in problem solving projects that require them to use the skills that they have learned in class.
Design Thinking and Project Based Learning work together in formulating a great project. In my experience, you have to develop an empathy for the problem at hand. They develop an sense of understanding as to why the problem needs to be solved.
After developing a sense of empathy, they (the students) then begin to think of possible ways and tacktics that could be used to solve the problem. This means trying to figure out how to use the skills from what they have learned from class. Trying to create the connection between world problems and class learning.
The infograph explains the IDEO and Stanford d School idea of design thinking when used for project based learning. The process are similar, but Stanford d School has a few more steps that I feel are needed in the process.
