 Project-based learning is a pedagogical approach that involves students in a long-term, in-depth investigation of a real-world challenge. The benefits of project-based learning include high engagement and a greater depth of understanding. They practice communication, critical thinking and creativity, and as a result, often experience better learning outcomes in general. Randomized controlled trials involving thousands of students demonstrated that project-based learning significantly outperformed traditional curricula, raising academic performance across academic disciplines. The best teachers often combine projects with traditional instruction or run what's known as active learning classrooms so that students get to make sense of trying, failing, doing and the theory from the educator.
