The project method as a didactic strategy

Abstract

The project method emerges from a vision of education in which students take greater responsibility for their own learning and where they apply, in real projects, the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom. When the project method is used as a strategy, students stimulate their strongest skills and develop new ones. They are motivated by a love of learning, a feeling of responsibility and effort, and an understanding of the important role they play in their communities. The project method can be defined as a strategy that recognizes that meaningful learning leads students to an inherent learning process, an ability to do relevant work, and a need to be taken seriously.
