The Influencing Factors of Project-Based Learning Implementation in K-12 Education

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL), a teaching and learning style advocated by many schools around the world currently, differs from the traditional teacher-centered teaching style. Compared with the traditional teaching style, PBL has various standards for the overall teaching and learning framework in the classroom. At the K-12 level, due to the relatively young and immature conceptualization of the teaching population, the three aspects of the teacher role, structural design, and environmental regulation need to be fully considered. This paper argues that there is a wider application prospect of PBL in curriculum teaching at K-12 level based on the deepening of curriculum and teaching reform and the evolution of teaching concepts. But at the same time, the framework of PBL determines that it has many clear and detailed requirements for conditions inside and outside the classroom. This paper reviews the current progress of PBL and compiles the important influencing factors of PBL model development in K-12 education stage, hoping to provide inspiration for future PBL curriculum reform design.
