Teaching and learning processes can be effectively improved when the learning activities encounter an individual’s experience and interaction with their surrounding environments. Such interaction is highly significant throughout the learning process due to its role in enabling student participation and learning knowledge integration. This paper presents the option of teaching pedagogy for statistics teaching via project-based learning. This teaching method conduces cognitive development during the learning process by fostering active learning as it implements the application as opposed to the memorisation of statistical concepts. Therefore, a project was carried out with underpinned a common topic by all groups of students. The approach was incorporated in an undergraduate Statistical Methods class consisted of 34 business economics students in which they were to evaluate the learning process at the end of the course. Data collection consisted of closed-form and open-ended questions directed to the students for them to express their perceptions of project-based learning. The results showed that throughout the phases of project-based learning implementation, the students found that the processes of data presentation and analysis and research result discussion were challenging phases. They revealed the need for adjustment while carrying out a project, which was in line with the insight regarding the benefits and limitations faced by population. In particular, the aspect of limitations included the complexity of group work relationships and accessibility of resources applied in the project, while the benefit aspects are an increased level of student engagement in the learning process and their understanding of statistical concepts.
