Students who learned through project-based learning did not limit themselves to reporting facts but attempted to interpret the information, were more motivated to work together on their presentations, and expressed a more positive attitude toward learning history. Mousrdund (1999) describes project-based learning as student-centred, problem- or task-oriented and authentically assessed.
Projects are highly motivating for students, making them engage in the learning tasks necessary to successfully complete the project. Projects allow students to contribute to the collective knowledge of the class and beyond 10) Working with important ideas. 60Educational Technology Division Ministry of Education, Project-Based Learning Handbook, (Kuala Lumpur: Smart Education Development Communications and Training Sector Educational Technology Division Ministry of Education, 2006), 7.
As a learning method of teaching, project-based learning has advantages and challenges in implementing project-based learning.
Challenges to Implement Project-Based Learning 61
Difficulties may arise as a result of poor planning and incomplete preliminary organization of the main project's activities. Poor time and process management can also be the consequence of choosing the wrong driving question for the project, as well as overestimating the students' potential and competence to solve the task. In general, the choice of appropriate evaluation methods is one of the weakest elements in project-based learning models.
