Definition

The Moursund project-based learning model as presented here has been published in one of the most popular textboooks, intitled "Project-based learning: Using Information Technology".

The model presented here draws from a summary of Moursund 2002: 57-64). We did not simply summarize, therefore it is our (DSchneider)'s interpretation of the model.

Context

This model can be applied (or rather adapted) to a wide range of project-based learning at various levels of teaching.

Definition of goals

Typicially project-based learning involves definition of different kinds of goals, e.g.:

  1. Gain knowledge and skills within a global (class-wide) subject area
  2. Gain knowledge and skills Individual project-related subject area
  3. Improve IT skills (in particular improve ICT-enhanced "knowledge working" and "community of practice") skills
  4. Improve general problem solving skills including metacognitive
