Tying It All Together As an educator, you increasingly work with students of diverse backgrounds, cultures, native languages, and ability levels. Project- based learning provides a greater range of learning opportunities to your students. Working on a project with others motivates learners by allowing them to work with content in the context of real-world situations (Katz & Chard, 1989). Additionally, twenty years of research has shown the motivation has a positive impact on achievement (Brewster & Fager, 2000).
