Projectes sobre l’enfocament per projectes

The Catalan curriculum today, like many competence-based existing curricula, is based upon the premise that all learning proposals must ensure learners develop the so-called 21st century knowledge, skills and competences (Word Economic Forum, 2015) necessary to enable them to act socially in an effective and reasoned fashion. This objective is difficult to achieve if learners are not placed at the centre of the learning process and if teachers do not create contexts to integrate the acquisition of language, field knowledge and social values. The adoption of project-based learning (PBL) as a methodological proposal makes it possible, as curriculum contents are organised around global projects structured through goal-oriented tasks that get learners to work together to develop a wide range of competences (communicative, mathematic, artistic, ICT, civic, etc.) and 21st century skills (creativity, adaptability, flexibility, social awareness, leadership, collaboration, etc.) in an integrative manner.
