THE BOX 1. Traditional way of teaching 2. Classroom

Motto: „TELL ME, AND I WILL FORGET, SHOW ME, AND I MIGHT REMEMBER, INVOLVE ME, AND I WILL LEARN.”

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING What’s this? Involve students in real-life tasks and let them discover their own capabilities to get to a solution Why should we use this? An opportunity for students to work on problems in the real world An opportunity for teachers to develop certain abilities of students An opportunity to make the „bad excellent” An opportunity to have fun

ADVANTAGES Learner centred Motivates students Students are actively engaged in the task Encourages cooperative learning Requires the students to produce a product Challenging Gives control over students’ own learning Develops multiple intelligence Develops abilities: e.g. cooperation, responsibility, self-control, self-assesment, solidarity Interdisciplinary: integrates several subjects Chance of SUCCESS even for weaker learners!!

DISADVANTAGES Time consuming Engergy consuming Dominance of certain students Students might lose interest 
