Supporting Learning Process through Projects

Where there is content there is process and product. If education is the reconstruction of experience then projects in this process should be understood as an in-depth venture that is worth the time of the learners, their attention and attitude.

To me the project is a great eye opener to witness how learners work together to bring jumbled ideas together to culminate into sense. However, I just want to be so carefull not to rush into putting such ideas into their heads, resulting in everyone working at the same rate. This would result into the case of too much too soon! Ironically, from my own perception, the project approach drives the opportunity to the learners directly to explore and conceptualize independently than they would have done with their teacher.

By incorporating the project work into the curriculum, teachers would have provided the best opportunities for the learners to apply the skills and knowledge appropriately and thus become a useful and meaningful complement to a more typical, systematic, or direct form of instruction.
