The project method is an instructional approach where students apply the skills and knowledge they have learned to solve real-world problems with minimal teacher direction. Introduced in the 18th century for architecture and engineering students, it was later expanded by William Heard Kilpatrick to be a child-centered, progressive philosophy of education. While time-consuming, the project method gives students hands-on experience, enhances their skills, and allows them to be creative and imaginative. However, it can isolate students to a single activity for long periods.
PROJECT METHOD (EXPLORATORY APPROACH)
- 1. PROJECT METHOD (exploratory approach)
- 2. What is a project method? The project method is a medium of instruction which was introduced during the 18th century into the schools of architecture and engineering in Europe when graduating students had to apply the skills and knowledge they had learned in the course of their studies to problems they had to solve as practicians of their trade, for example, designing a monument, building a steam engine. In the early 20th Century,William Heard Kilpatrick expanded the project method into a philosophy of education. His device is child-centred and based in progressive education. Both approaches are used by teachers worldwide to this day. Unlike traditional education, proponents of the project method attempt to allow the student to solve problems with as little teacher direction as possible.
