Project Based Learning (PBL)

At Gaskiya’s, we firmly believe that Project Based Learning (PBL) is a powerful tool for imparting enduring knowledge to our scholars. Rooted in inquiry, PBL nurtures curiosity and encourages scholars to seek answers actively, whether working collaboratively or independently. This method offers creative avenues for exploration and problem-solving, thereby fostering a more engaging and enriching learning experience.

Our PBL approach is designed to cultivate key scholarly attributes. Scholars engaged in PBL are expected to take initiative, exercise decision-making, generate insightful questions, and direct their own learning paths. They’re encouraged to set achievable goals, share their findings, and regularly reflect on their progress and learning process.

Critical to the effectiveness of PBL at Gaskiya’s is the integration of research. Driven by innate curiosity, our scholars delve into a variety of resources, thereby expanding their knowledge base and enhancing their research skills. This deep, exploratory involvement ignites a passionate pursuit of knowledge, leading to a richer understanding and long-lasting retention.

In essence, PBL at Gaskiya’s is not just about knowledge acquisition; it’s about developing the ability to question, explore, analyze, and innovate. It’s about nurturing scholars who are not just consumers of information but producers of knowledge.
