Project Based Learning (PBL) compared to the traditional instructional approaches is an approach of teaching and learning process where we can enhance the quality of education or learning we give to a child. It is an approach where the student or the child is the center of the teaching and learning process. PBL may be characterized as an interdisciplinary approach since learning do not only focus on short-term and teacher-centered instruction for learning but instead is student-centered and is long-term. In Project Based Learning, students are engaged into problem-solving so as for them to give extra effort and to think critically to develop the 21st century skills and go beyond.

It is in PBL wherein we promote learning that would be meaningful for the child and would be able for the child to incorporate past ideas to the new ones. It is also in PBL where the teacher acts as a guide or facilitator of learning paving a way for students to become responsible for their own learning. It is a way wherein students are challenged to do more, know more and become better. In Project Based Learning there is more learning and less teaching. It is where students develop and learn by working on a project that will exist beyond the classroom walls.

PBL also makes connections into the real world. It is wherein problems given are somewhat related to issues and problems in the society and in the environment where the students are given the opportunity to develop and apply their knowledge and skills in solving the said problem. It is a strategy wherein we tap and connect different aspects and domains of the students.
