Learning with projects

Learning happens in diferent ways. One way where student can learn is through projects. Projects can develop 21st century skills of the student by allowing them to think ideas on how they will come up with their project. Various ideas that may not come up with in limited way of learning. Creativity will arise to student by their unique and original style that will make them different from each other.Student will also develop critical thinking and system thinking by doing step by step process and by organizing all the things that must be included in the project. Student will be engage to group activity,given them chance to meet other people, be able to share knowledge with his/her fellow student and work harmoniously. Student will be trained to be responsible by working projects with a given time. The way student give importance to their projects is the same way they develop responsibility.The way they manipilate or make their projects reflect what person they are.

Projects can be use to enhance student learning by means of a hands-on experience or should I say learning by doing. Student get bored with classroom discussion and lectures, or by paper and pencil test. With projects, student are allow work,manipulate and create projects with their full potential and in a manner that he/she will enjoy. With projects it is not only intellectual ability that is being enhance.It also enhance psychomotor and affective domain of the student. Projects also give them opportunity to have a wide range of information necessary for learning, through this they will be able to discover, make judgement and draw conclusion based from what they have gathered. As they go with the processes student will continue to seek information and add knowledge for their benefits. They learn independently.
Through projects they will not only be familiarize with the subject but also be able to understand the lessons very well,made a realization and relate it to real life situation.
