Abstract
Project-based learning is Always implemented with the goal of “improving Student achievement and student engagement within the class room. This presentation covers an action research involving 100 pupils in a knitting and crochet class that participated in project-based learning activities.
As a handwork teacher, I have noticed children discover creative ways of doing things and come to class ready to experiment. I noticed that pupils who have their interest ignited by having
· Meaningful experiences thereby promoting meaningful learning
· Are motivated to put in the hard work of learning and recalling
· Ability to start conversations about their learning journey in class and encourage other learners to do the same.
Project based learning became an interest when it was explained in details during first semester of my course in my professional diploma classes at meadow hall. This presentation discusses the action research to investigate the effectiveness of project based learning in performance of pupils in handwork classes by critically examining projects started, Skills learnt via project based learning Skills applied to real life situations, projects completed as effectiveness can be influenced by factors such as teacher implementation and student engagement.
