Abstract

Project-basedlearning (PBL)isan educational approachthat involvesstudentsworkingonaprojectora series of projects over an extended period. In this study, the perception of teachers towards PBL was examined. A kit named “The Wonders of PBL” was introduced to help teachers implement PBL in school, and their acceptance of the kits was investigated. The sample consisted of 54 secondary school teachers from schools teaching various subjects. The perceptions of instructors towards project-based learning were investigated using the Perception of PBL Questionnaire (PPBL). The results demonstrate that the items are rather easier to agree with because the item’s mean (0.00) is much lower than the person’s mean (1.22). Teachers showed positive perceptions of implementing PBL. Teachers believed that students would be more engaged and active in their learning through Project Based Learning. However, most of the teachers feel uneasy about implementing Project Based Learning due to time management and assessment. The introduction to “The Wonders of PBL” helps teachers plan PBL systematically. Each studentneedsto produce aproject, and the projectwasevaluatedby more thanfive teachers. More than 94.5% of teachers agreed that the PBL kits can be the main guide for implementing PBLatschool, are user-friendly, canhelpthem implementPBL, andsave theirtime inPBLpreparation. They are also motivated to implement PBL, and the sharing inspired them to implement PBL.
