Objective: This worksheet is designed to guide educators through the structured implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL). The goal is to help students focus on a topic while fostering independent research and creative problem-solving.

Content and methods: The material follows a five-step pedagogical framework: defining a driving question, conducting sustained inquiry, identifying a final product, mapping milestones, and final reflection. Methodologically, it combines theoretical guidelines with practical examples, such as utilizing annotated editions and digital databases for research, employing collaborative peer reviews, and creating authentic public products like podcasts, workshops, or digital media.

Competencies:

• Research and Media Literacy: Navigating academic journals, online databases, and digital communities to gather and synthesize data
• Collaboration and Communication: Engaging in peer feedback cycles and presenting findings to authentic audiences
• Self-Regulation and Reflection: Managing a long-term project through milestones and internalizing learning experiences through structured self-critique

Target group: Teachers
