Learning should not only prepare one for life, but should also be an integral part of life itself. Stimulating real problems and real problem solving are one function of project-based learning. Projects assist students in succeeding in life because they allow learners to apply multiple intelligences in completing a project that has meaning and that students can be proud of. Using projects as a learning vehicle, students are expected to work cooperatively on complex and open-ended tasks as well as to follow directions in step-by-step learning. In step-by-step systematic instruction, students will acquire the skills they need and then apply those skills in meaningful contexts by solving problems posed in projects. Through projects, students demonstrate mastered skills and knowledge, rather than parroting phrases on concepts on short answer, multiple choice, and true/false sets of evaluations.
