Project Based Learning

            Three important things from The project based learning.

•  When project approach takes hold in the classroom, students gain opportunities to engage in real-world problem solving too.
•  Problem-based learning emerged more than half a century ago as a practical teaching strategy in medicine, engineering, economics, and other disciplines. With this approach, students are challenged to solve problems or do simulations that mimic real life.
•  Cognitive scientists have advanced our understanding of how we learn, how we develop expertise, and how we begin to think at a higher level. Fields ranging from neuroscience to social psychology have contributed to our understanding of what conditions create the best environment for learning. Culture, context, and the social nature of learning all have a role in shaping the learner's experience.

From this reading I learned that when students are grouped together for a specific project each member of the group gets an opportunity of learning in various styles. Not only do they get to learn different learning styles but they also get to engage in real world opportunities which will prepare the students for future situations.
