Steps Of Project Method:
Project method is a direct outcome of pragmatism, especially of John
Dewey’s educational philosophy. Pragmatism believes in reality. It is
scientific and empirical. It is based on the principle of learning by doing.
Being influenced by John Dewey, Kilpatrick tried to give project method
in 1918. This method is democratic in nature and it emphasizes social
skills and team work.
What Is A Project Method?
It is a progressive approach of teaching. It is a purposeful act it
provides the learner with learning experiences.
Here the teacher acts like a guide assigns the projects to groups of
students.’
Each group works on different topics or problems. They work together
to prepare the project.
The students work together as a team, they learn by discussing, reading,
and exchanging ideas. Then they take the help of a teacher wherever
they difficulties or have questions.
The project method covers the content of many different subjects and
the teacher tries to integrate the information to the main topic.
This method gives complete freedom and choice to students.
