Answer:
Ok sure.
Explanation:
The Project Method is a medium of instruction which was introduced during the 18th century
into the schools of architecture and engineering in Europe when graduating students had to
apply the skills and knowledge they had learned in the course of their studies to problems
they had to solve as practicians of their trade, for example, designing a monument, building a
steam engine. It is based on the philosophy of Pragmatism. Founded by John Dewey. In the
early 20th Century, William Heard Kilpatrick expanded the project method into a philosophy
of education. His device is child-centred and based in progressive education. Both approaches
are used by teachers worldwide to this day. Unlike traditional education, proponents of the
project method attempt to allow the student to solve problems with as little teacher direction
as possible. The teacher is seen more as a facilitator than a deliver of knowledge and
information.
As a method of teaching, founder is Dr. J.A. Stevenson. Emphasis is to practical,
experimental, instrumental and utilitarian basis.
Philosophies behind this method are:
1. Children learn better through association, co-operation and activity.
2. Learning by doing
3. Learning by living, because life is actually full of projects and we try to carry out
these projects every day.
Project method is one of the modern method of teaching in which, the students point of view is given importance in designing the curricula and content of studies. This method is based on the philosophy of Pragmatism and the principle of 'Learning by doing'.
