In the normal typical curriculum followed from several decades, students just focused on the theory aspects of topics which they learnt, but as per time passed by each and everyone felt that the learnings which they are grabbing is just a piece of showcase. A soldier doesn`t become a soldier by just learning the tricks and processes of holding and firing a gun unless he dares to hold it and shoot by himself.
The conservative learnings make us parrot who keeps on flaunting the knowledge but when a student becomes practical he converts him into the eagle of vast skills. Practical projects help us to come out of our books, our limitations, our boundaries and feel the topics which are taught inside the rooms, they make one explore their hidden talents, make them know their drawbacks and feel them to work upon it, they make a student respect and gain importance of topics which they learn and even make them familiar that there`s something existing beyond just giving exams and gaining good marks.
Fetching practical problems makes one search for the practical solutions, makes them know how things really work, makes them respect the topics and generate interest and enthusiasm inside them to learn and make others know about their research how different they consume the topics and present to the outer world. Learning about our earth is interesting in books but holding a piece of globe and rotating it makes one passionate about earth and opens his or her mind towards the diverse things found in it, and who knows they even discover such things which are unexplored yet.
People believe that first they will motivate themselves and then step on the work but the reality is opposite, when one starts working then he or she becomes motivated, similarly when one starts doing practical projects then he or she gains interest in the topics and academics. Being practical increases knowledge, wisdom, confidence, will power, makes one passionate about the roots and working and the most important changes the prospective of young minds to consume and grab the learnings.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is not just a normal education modus operandi instead it connects school pupils more into real-time problems and issues by immersion them in various questions. Typically, students are just passive to receive information, but PBL requires them not only to watch but actively investigate and solve problems over a long period. This method enables students to better understand the subjects by practicing the theoretical content they have learned through practical examples.Increased student participation in PBL has demanded that they become competent in their projects as well. Oftentimes, they participate in their projects with others, so learning teamwork and communication is a great byproduct of such projects too. What projects do in real-world contexts is that they make the content academically relevant and meaningful, in short “engendering the motivation” in students to put more effort into their learning process.Besides that, the real-world projects through which students construct understanding help them to go through iterative processes. Students are provided with ongoing feedback and allowed time for self-reflection which makes them work hard on their weaknesses. This process is completed by students exposing their work to a genuine audience giving them a sense of purpose and accountability. PBL, as a matter of a fact, nurtures the competencies of critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-directed learning and this, in turn, leads to a more intense and longer-lasting influx of academic kowledge.
