Fostering Students' Critical Thinking Through the Implementation of Project-Based Learning

Abstract

This chapter examines the role of project-based learning (PBL) in fostering students' critical thinking skills. By providing both theoretical foundations and practical insights, the chapter explores how PBL can create meaningful connections and enhance students' preparedness for the future. The authors emphasize key strategies employed in PBL, including active and differentiated learning, collaborative group work, critical thinking skills, and research and investigation. These strategies empower students to tackle real-world problems and challenges, enabling them to develop their critical thinking abilities. Throughout the chapter, the authors highlight the importance of PBL as an approach that promotes deeper learning and equips students with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of the world around them.
