What is the difference between PBL and a project? by Nicole Gilbert https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7 Made with serendipity en-us 2016-09-21 12:46:11 UTC 2025-11-09 08:11:27 UTC hello@padlet.com A project is more paper/pencil and individually based. Whereas PBL would be an activity where students are spending more time working together to solve a problem (with maybe multiple answers or outcomes) and the results can be shown in many forms. https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551477 2016-09-21 19:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551477 Pbl vs. Projects https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551485 Projects are short and do not involve a lot of different content areas. Project Base Learning is a lot more integration and more content knowledge. ]]> 2016-09-21 19:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551485 PBL has a goal or task to what kids should accomplish to learn the material; a project is more of an assessment heather_bowles https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551504 2016-09-21 19:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551504 projects usually are done at home  emily_starkey https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551539 2016-09-21 19:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551539 PBL vs. Projects https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551551 Projects can be completed individually. Collaboration and real world application is not necessarily needed.

PBL need collaboration and strong sense of "why" they are doing something and "how" it affects the world around them.

PBL incorporates more critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.  A project is simply a product students make to display their learning. PBL is student-led and provides students with choice, whereas projects are very much teacher directed.]]> 2016-09-21 19:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551588 https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551593 PBL teaches as you work towards a final product while a project is just an assesment. PBL has a greater chance of teaching a concept. A project, if you don't know... expect a bad project.]]> 2016-09-21 19:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551593 PBL real world based emily_starkey https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551631 2016-09-21 19:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551631 PBL is more student centered and driven while a project is more teacher driven and directed. marise_sizemore https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551706 2016-09-21 19:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551706 Projects don't seem to be as "real world" as PBL's. https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551790 2016-09-21 19:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551790 PBL is real world application.

A project assumes the student already has the skills. Projects are short. PBL is critical thinking.  https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551870 2016-09-21 19:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551870 A project assumes the student already has the skills and applies them to complete the project.  In PBL, the students learn skills and knowledge as they need them to solve a problem. https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551885 2016-09-21 19:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551885 https://padlet.com/nicole_gilbert/557to2b3p1u7/wish/125551919 Projects can be i
