Abstract: Project-based learning may be the solution to students lacking motivation in the typical, mundane math instruction. It could engage students who have otherwise become disengaged from the learning environment.

Findings: The researcher discovered that many students felt more motivated when completing project-based learning activities because they were enjoying the learning more and because it was a change from the traditional method.

Abstract: This case study compare elementary classes who are using flipped instruction to those who are continuing with the traditional teaching methods. The finding were consistent with many other findings that support the use of project-based learning.

Findings: The study concluded that flipped instruction increased math performance, heightened student engagement, and increased cooperative learning, communication, and collaboration.

Abstract: Research conducted by the University of Michigan and Michigan State University seeked to answer questions about project-based learning and student achievement. They conducted a large study of the effects of PBL on social studies instruction in second grade.

Findings: The study found statistically significant differences favoring project-based learning. The social studies score gains were 63 percent higher in the PBL group than in the control group. Gains were higher in classrooms who stuck to the originally intended method of carrying out project-based learning.

Abstract: A high school math teacher highlights the importance of using project-based learning in her math class.

Findings: PBL increased student understanding of real-world problem solving skills. These math projects improved math context and number sense and prepared students for higher level math instruction. This also integrates other subjects into her math class.

Abstract: Researchers conducted a recent literature review on project-based learning to gather new data and study results on the effects. He discovered that many  literature sources had positive relation between PBL and achievement, but only when carried out correctly.

Findings: Researchers gather many recommendation to teachers wanting to try project-based learning in their classrooms. Teachers must change from master to facilitator. The design must be measurable and include room for discovery and collaboration. Teachers also must be sure that the design of PBL could be used for many types of learners.

Abstract: Researched measured outcomes to decide on the effectiveness of PBL and how to strengthen the implementation of PBL in K-12 classrooms.

Findings: The researchers found that the effects to which PBL increases learning and understands depends on the subject. Positive effects have been found in science classrooms that are using project-based learning. PBL aligns with the goal for learning to include higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills.

Abstract: Researchers studied teachers using project-based learning to help learners with special needs.Students flourish when many different learning styles are used and PBL accomplishes that goal.

Findings: The students enjoyed getting to leave their traditional classrooms and learning in a different way., The teachers enjoyed using resources not usually used. Student had increases in attendance and positive attitudes during this project.

Abstract: This quantitative research study examined the effects of project-based learning in a seventh grade science class. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to measure achievement in traditional classrooms versus classes using project-based learning.

Findings: Although the differences were not significant, it is suggested that the students in the PBL classroom are not well-prepared for a student-centered classroom and therefore did not perform as well. Also, student in traditional group learned that they were being compared and possibly overperformed.

Abstract: This study researched ways to maximize effectiveness of project-based learning. The looked for challenges of PBL in order to help teachers in the future. Some challenges were student time-management, classroom management, and student inability to complete complex tasks.

Findings: Integrating project-based learning across all subjects prepares students for high-stakes testing and learning in the future. PBL is also a great way to teach students how to think more deeply.
