teaching method in which students
learn by actively engaging in realworld and personally meaningful
projects.

9. Colour Corners

Read the questions and choose one of the coloured
corners based on your answer.
www.britishcouncil.org

10. Have you ever created a project-based learning plan for your lesson?

Yes, I create at least one project-based learning lesson plan every
quarter.
No, but I want to learn this method and I’m ready to try it out.
I have taught a lesson based on a project before, but I don’t
use it regularly.
I rely more on traditional lesson plans, but I have heard
about PBL.
www.britishcouncil.org

11. What are the steps for using PBL?

Planning, researching, developing a solution, presenting the results.
Identifying the problem, conducting group research, result, evaluation.
I don’t know these steps clearly, but I have a general
understanding
I think every teacher adapts the steps according to their own
methodology.
www.britishcouncil.org

12. Does your curriculum allow for the use of PBL?

Yes, the curriculum is suitable and includes relevant topics,
so using PBL is easy.
It’s not fully compatible, but PBL can be integrated into
some topics.
It is difficult to incorporate PBL Because the curriculum is
very dense.
I haven’t reviewed the curriculum from the perspective of
PBL yet

15. Project-Based Learning – PBL

The learning process is
organized through
project-based work.
It ensures the
integration of
several subjects.
Students are at the
centre and engage in
independent research
It includes several
project tasks.
The teacher takes on
a guiding role.
www.britishcouncil.org
It is long-term and
results in the creation
of a final product.
