HOW PROJECT-BASED LEARNING PREPARES STUDENTS FOR THE REAL WORLD
Abstract
This article examines the role of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in preparing students for real-world challenges within the modern education system. In the context of rapid social, technological, and economic changes, traditional teaching methods often fail to equip learners with practical skills required beyond the classroom. Project-Based Learning, as an innovative pedagogical approach, emphasizes active learning through real-life problem solving, collaboration, and independent inquiry. The study highlights how PBL contributes to the development of key competencies such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, creativity, and self-management. Special attention is given to the alignment of PBL with current educational reforms, which prioritize competency-based education and the integration of theory with practice. The article also discusses the relevance of project-based activities in increasing students’ motivation, responsibility, and readiness for future professional and social life. The findings suggest that Project-Based Learning is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing the quality of education and fostering learners’ adaptability to real-world demands.
