10. What is Project-Based Learning? Constructivism Students construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiments, experience and reflection. Inquiry-based Learning Students construct understanding based on a “need or want to know”. Problem-based Learning Students develop solutions to specific and complex problems. Project-based Learning Students work in groups seeking multiple sources of information and creating authentic products.
