Project Based Learning = Higher Learning

Project-based learning is a teaching approach that involves students in a long-term, in-depth exploration of a topic or problem through the completion of a project. This approach is often used to help students develop a range of skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.

When we consider project-based learning in the context of Bloom's Taxonomy, we can see that it aligns

well with the higher levels of learning. Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals and objectives based on six levels of cognitive complexity, ranging from lower-order thinking skills (such as remembering and understanding) to higher-order thinking skills (such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating).

Project-based learning can be particularly effective in promoting higher-order thinking skills, as students are required to engage in complex tasks that require them to analyze, evaluate, and create new knowledge. Let's take a closer look at how project-based learning aligns with the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy:


Analyzing: At the analyzing level, students are asked to break down complex information into its component parts and examine how those parts relate to one another. In project-based learning, students may be asked to analyze data or information to identify patterns, connections, or trends.

  1. Evaluating: At the evaluating level, students are asked to make judgments about the value or quality of something based on a set of criteria. In project-based learning, students may be asked to evaluate the effectiveness of different solutions to a problem or the strengths and weaknesses of different sources of information.

  2. Creating: At the creating level, students are asked to use their knowledge and skills to produce something new or original. In project-based learning, students are often required to create a product or solution that addresses a real-world problem or issue.

Overall, project-based learning is a powerful approach to teaching and learning that can help students develop a range of skills and competencies. By engaging in complex, real-world tasks that require higher-order thinking skills, students can deepen their understanding of complex concepts and develop the skills they need to succeed in college, careers, and life
