Educational project approaching teaching-learning transcurricular modern method

Abstract

Educational projects offer real life, authentic situations in order to contextualize the learning activities and connect higher level thinking skills of schoolchildren and students. Education through trans-curricular project- based learning method allows students to approach important topics of study, to develop new skills, to work on the abilities they already have and to create products they can identify with. Thus, they are involved in taking decisions on the content, the process and learning results and also during the activities, they are involved in taking decisions, they work in teams, they are encouraged to take initiative and to make public presentations. This educational approach provides an useful working alternative which connects a ’traditional’ training to one promoting real and authentic working situations, ensuring a differentiated training as well as an integrated high level thinking skills.
