Yet too often, they end up feeling like extra work for teachers and activities that students don\u2019t truly enjoy. So how can we create projects that are both fun and motivating for students, while also being practical and efficient for teachers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this question in mind, the new edition of the course <strong>\u201cIntroducing Project Based Learning in the Classroom\u200b\u201d<\/strong> \u0441\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0434\u0435 \u0432 <strong>\u0422\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0444\u0435<\/strong> \u043e\u0442 <strong>08\/02\/2026 to 14\/02\/2026<\/strong>. The participants came from all across Europe, with Alexander from <strong>Gymnasium der Stiftung Theresianische Akademie <\/strong>in Austria, Bernhard from <strong>Fachober- und Berufsoberschule M\u00fcnchen<\/strong> in Germany, Gabriela from <strong>Zagreb muscular dystrophy society<\/strong> in Croatia, Sophie from <strong>Henallux<\/strong> \u0432 \u0411\u0435\u043b\u0433\u0438\u044f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first days of the course, participants explored the main concepts of Project-Based Learning (PBL), focusing on its key elements. Using case study videos, they analyzed real projects and quickly realized that PBL is not just \u201cany project\u201d \u2014 it is a structured teaching approach with its own rules and methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4794 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3093-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4795 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3076-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4796 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3094-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course began with preparing the class for PBL. Through reflection and discussion, teachers recognized the importance of equipping students with the right skills and attitudes, such as curiosity, critical thinking, inquiry, and especially collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, participants learned about defining learning outcomes and applying \u201cbackward design.\u201d They discovered that a PBL project should be rooted in the curriculum, rather than added as extra work at the end of a unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating the Driving Question and project details was another focus. The Driving Question serves as the central challenge that motivates students\u2019 learning. In seeking solutions, students engage in research and inquiry that naturally guide them to the key concepts of the subjects involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4797 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3107-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4798 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_3113-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assessment was also addressed, with discussions on how to evaluate student progress, particularly in group work.

Participants practiced using technology to make projects more interactive, efficient, and engaging for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What made the learning experience truly effective was the opportunity to create their own PBL projects throughout the week. Each day, after discovering a new element of PBL, teachers worked in groups to design a project suited to their students\u2019 age and needs. This hands-on approach not only helped clarify doubts but also encouraged idea-sharing and collaboration with colleagues from other countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u041d\u0430\u0443\u0447\u0435\u0442\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0447\u0435 \u0437\u0430 \u0442\u043e\u0437\u0438 \u043a\u0443\u0440\u0441 <a href=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/bg\/%d1%83%d1%87%d0%b5%d0%b1%d0%bd%d0%be-%d0%b8%d0%b7%d1%83%d1%87%d0%b0%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%b5-%d1%87%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b7-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%be%d0%b5%d0%ba%d1%82%d0%b8\">\u0442\u0443\u043a.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School programs are full of projects and initiatives designed to teach in more innovative and engaging ways.
