Effectiveness of project based learning in Bangladeshi tertiary classroom

Abstract

Project- based learning (PBL) is a comprehensive method of teaching and learning in which students work in a team or individually to explore real-world issues. The proper use of this method makes the learning more interesting and encourages students to know more deeply about the subject. Since students get to work both in groups and individually, they become more self-directed and confident. The goal of this study is to find out the effectiveness of this method in Bangladeshi context. The researcher chose participants from the English and Humanities Department of Brac University. 9 participants were selected for the survey and then based on the survey result the researcher took interview of 4 participants which was semi-structured to find out all the difficulties that students are facing and the benefits as well. The findings indicated that this method helps students to gain skills however there are some issues because of which this method is not very popular in our country.
