Global Studies – 21 Century Skills Assessment “Project Based Learning" (PBL) is student- centered curriculum that is inquiry-based, has real world applications, and incorporates higher order thinking skills. The intention of Project Based Learning is to facilitate deep learning that could be shared with a wide audience. Project Based Learning may be infused with technology but is not driven by it. The role of the teacher is facilitator or coach.
