Projektiperustainen

Projektiperustainen, meaning project-based in English, refers to an educational approach where learning is driven by actively engaging students in complex, real-world projects. Instead of traditional lectures or rote memorization, students work collaboratively over an extended period to investigate, design, create, and present solutions to authentic problems or challenges. This methodology emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills as students acquire knowledge and understanding through the process of completing a project.

In a projektiperustainen learning environment, the teacher often acts as a facilitator, guiding students and providing resources rather than being the sole source of information. The projects are designed to be interdisciplinary, allowing students to connect concepts from various subjects and apply them in a practical context. Assessment in this model typically focuses on the process as well as the final product, evaluating students' ability to research, plan, execute, and reflect on their work. This approach aims to foster deeper learning and engagement by making education more relevant and meaningful to students' lives.
