Project-Based Learning Transforms Education at EFI Academy

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, schools are increasingly turning to innovative teaching methodologies to engage students, foster critical thinking skills, and prepare them for success in the 21st century. One such approach that has gained significant traction is Project-based Learning (PBL).   

At EFI Academy, we believe in fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment that goes beyond traditional textbooks and lectures. That's why we embrace Project-based Learning as a core teaching method of our school.   

Understanding Project-based Learning (PBL)  

PBL is a teaching method that helps students acquire deeper knowledge based on what they already know by participating in real-life projects.   

The core idea of PBL is to pose practical problems that can attract students' interest and motivate them to actively participate. During project implementation, students need to apply new and old knowledge in context to solve problems.   

Types Of Project-based Learning Method  

EFI Academy's educational program encourages and adheres to PBL method because of its practicality. During the training process, teachers flexibly apply different types of this learning method.   

Challenge/problem-based learning:   

Encourage students to take advantage of familiar technology such as televisions, computers, phones, etc. to collect information to solve real-life problems.   

Outdoor education  

Start with tours of historical sites, landscapes or local cultural experiences, community service, internships, etc…  

Students use the knowledge acquired during the field trip as a foundation for learning through projects.  

EFI's Outdoor Activities 

Activity-based learning  

Students build the meaning of the project through hands-on and experimental activities.  

Project-based Learning Benefits 

The project is the best demonstration of the knowledge and experience that the implementer has accumulated. Therefore, training students to solve big problems with PBL will contribute to helping them succeed in life.  

Outstanding benefits of project-based learning for students: 

Create opportunities for students to participate in in-depth research; 

Improve students's learning attitudes thanks to practical and interesting problems; 

Connect students to the world outside the classroom; 

Help students prepare for the future, accepting real-life challenges.
