What is Project-Based Learning?Slide5
Project-Based Learning is a
Freirean approach to education that is focused, authentic, and student-directed. It “involves trying to solve complicated problems that do not have easy solutions or a single answer” (Behizadeh, 2014).Slide6
What are some of the problems with
