Donna Bonanno • Cahn Fellow 2023

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational approach that emphasizes active learning through the exploration of real-world problems and challenges. This method encourages students to engage in collaborative, hands-on projects that foster critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. Research highlights the value of PBL in promoting deeper understanding of content, as students apply their knowledge in practical contexts. Additionally, PBL nurtures essential skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability, preparing students for future academic and career success. By creating a dynamic learning environment, PBL enhances student motivation and ownership of learning, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and the development of lifelong learners.
