PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
(PBL-COURSE)

 SEAMEO STEM-ED is committed to supporting teachers across Southeast Asia to involve their students in authentic Project-based Learning experiences that engage them in solving real problem through real contexts. Through such learning experiences, in addition to applying and developing cross-disciplinary knowledge, students will develop multiple competencies and skills from working on these projects including critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication, entrepreneurship, project management, leadership and community citizenship. Learner groups who pass the national competitions and make it to the final round will present their work to the judging committee at the final competition 

The course is designed to develop, advise, help, and support teachers to be able to engage their students in STEM projects through Project-based learning experiences (PBLs). Teachers will work in Professional Learning Communities (PLC) through the programme of webinars, pre and post webinar tasks, and as they develop and implement their project-based learning experiences.

All participants will be organized into online PLCs from each school or country and will work through the programme of webinars, pre and post webinar tasks, and as they develop and implement their project-based learning experiences.

STEM Education is a teaching and learning approach, which emphasizes the connections among–or the integration of knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to address problems facing our communities as well as larger global issues that require a skilled workforce and knowledgeable citizens who can apply these skills and knowledge to develop solutions. 

Project-Based Learning is an instructional strategy in which students work cooperatively over time to create a product, presentation, or performance to solve a real problem.
