Project Strategy

A project is any activity, individual or group, involving the exploration and clarification problems, prearranged and carried out to conclusion under the assistance of the teacher.

There are four types of project strategy

1) The Producer type:  in which the stress is focused towards actual construction of material object or article.

2) The Consumer type:  where the objective is to obtain either direct or various experience, such a as reading and learning from stories, listening to a musical delectation etc.

3) The Problem type:  in which the chief purpose is to solve a problem involving the intellectual processes.

4) The Drill type: where the objective is to attain a certain degree of skill in a reaction- as learning a vocabulary

Students learn to work independently and take responsibility when they are asked to make choices. The opportunity to make choices, and to express their learning in their own voice, also helps to increase students’ educational engagement.

This strategy helps the students to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and build vital workplace skills and lifelong habits of learning. It also allows students to address community issues, explore careers, interact with adult mentors, and helps in the use of technology and presents their work to audiences beyond the classroom.

In this strategy Students are at the center of the learning process. Students learn through inquiry and have some control over decisions about how they complete their tasks. The teacher takes on the role of a facilitator or coach. Students often work in collaborative groups, assuming roles that make best use of their individual talents.

The project method of teaching should promote critical thinking; encourage divergent thinking and multiple solutions; engage students in real-world challenges; encourage student ownership, direction, and management of resources; and provide opportunities for teamwork and encourage collaboration.

The project method would provide students with social goals and allow them to engage in activities that would require them to think and solve problems. He stated that the project would need to meet the tests of social significance, intellectual activity, and a variety of other values.

Projects encourage creativity and give the student a sense of accomplishment, pride, and self-worth. Above all, an interested student is a motivated student; and a motivated student strives to do the best possible job. Projects do not promote a single answer, limit student participation, suppress collaboration, or discourage application of new contexts.
