It is believed that when students are engaged in their learning, they perform better. This workshop focused on how to engage student via Project-based Learning (PBL). A project involves the whole spectrum: doing research, selecting the suitable information, analysing the data collected, presenting the findings etc. It does not just refer to the final product. The 3 factors which promote student engagement are: autonomy, mastery and purpose. It is challenging to both to design a project-based assignment and to assess one. However, the BBK template (Build Background Knowledge) can help teachers design such an assignment. To assess, teachers may follow the 8 strategies of learning.
