- Abstract
Project-based learning (PBL) is usually based on real-world issues and emphasis on students’ soft skills, including autonomous learning, collaboration, problem-solving, information seeking and evaluating. Many studies have been done to investigate the use of PBL in different stages of school, from kindergartens to universities and pre-service training. Some current studies are writing a trend of introducing college-level education, especially about social studies and research techniques into high schools, but seldom of them were putting this trend into practice. This study used a case study with interviews and surveys to examine such a PBL program in an international high school in Shanghai, China. This research shows the effectiveness of this PBL program in some areas while raising questions in other aspects of learning, which may help to suggest issues and direction for improvement, update current understandings of high school students’ ability, and enlighten education.
