Since its inception, CHIREC has always supported improved and enhanced teaching-learning strategies. Teachers at CHIREC have been continuously exploring new methods and ideas to impart the best knowledge to the students and make the learning process enriching and amusing. Unlike the age-old teaching-learning process, CHIREC has always chosen latest practices that are well organized and systematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently, CHIREC has introduced a new technique in the teaching-learning process called the\u00a0Project<\/strong>\u2013Based Learning<\/strong>\u00a0(PBL). It is a research-oriented process which enables students to understand any topic after collecting the information and researching various primary and secondary sources. In this process of teaching, a teacher puts across a challenging open-ended question that requires real-life problem-solving skills and thorough research to find one or multiple solutions. Through PBL, students gain a deeper understanding of the subject and are able to make use of their knowledge and skills through a practical approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process begins with an open-ended questionnaire and slowly moves into a deep-delved research in various fields depending on the project. Students are able to make a comprehensive study of subjects they find interesting and integrate their understanding and findings into a project. For example, a PBL based on the sports genre from English requires children to undergo a comprehensive study of various sports like cricket, scuba diving, mountaineering, handball, hockey, etc., and integrate them with subjects like social studies, mathematics, and history. In this learning process, students also come up with new game ideas and develop new strategies that may be applied with the existing rules of the sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning PBL: What My Students Will Learn from This Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Planning a PBL is one of the most crucial elements of the process. As a mentor, one needs to pay equal importance to the learning objective and outcome. For example, a PBL based on the environment and surroundings may be planned to inculcate the value of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle among the students. As an ice-breaker, students are given an essential question like \u2018In what ways does reducing, reusing and recycling of paper help save the planet?\u2019 It should be an open-ended and non-judgmental question and should incorporate the theme of the project, which in this case is the importance of 3R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
