I love and agree with this so hard. The way I got into programming wasn't by finding a site to just show me how to code, but I had a goal in mind that required using programming. I learned SO MUCH from that experience and it unlocked a whole new level of learning from there on out, project after project. Excellent video!

This method works in the business world because there's an incentive of pay and career advancement. It doesn't work in high school because most students don't care about getting A's. Plus the project grade is shared, so the only student that actually cares about their grades does all the work.

Damn you guys are right, in High School I made elaborate presentations and rehearsed a lot for my projects. Now that I've graduated, I am confident i can have a good discussion with a professional in regards to certain topics because of what I've retained from analysis, research and presentation. (I've even bantered with a Historian talking about Julius Caesar and tiny details about his battles, including terrain.) But when if I were to be asked if I remember topics learnt through sheer classwork, I wouldn't be able to name even 1. My favourite being among Greek History and Julius Caesar, I can recite their histories off by heart and enthusiastically. But even for topics I'm not interested in like other histories, finance, law etc. I can still talk about with a smile as long as I've done presentation projects for them, which my teacher made us do a lot which I'm thankful now because it makes me seem sophisticated and educated to other people lmao. Now I'm considering making presentations for fun, and uploading them for youtube just for the sake of learning new things and retaining them as easily as I did with presentations in high school.

If public schools does PBL, the educational path for our children Will be smooth sailing

Learning through projects is the key to success. In society, people are often told exactly what to do, but not where to go. This is how dreams and opportunities fail, and people are left with resentment, only to pass it on to their kids. We are put through so much stress and pressure to fit in and be a picture perfect student based off of what the schools want. We learn common core, English, Science, history, Social studies, and other subjects without having a purpose for it other than copying and pasting answers. When we don’t know where to go, school just turns into clay scooping. There is no inner blueprint or framework that we have to follow in spite of being given the tools. We eventually become burned out, and we lose the enthusiasm to learn more. When we set a creative goal or big picture idea, it is more rewarding. It becomes muscle memory, and we actually want to learn more rather than just learning to get by and giving someone else what they want rather than what we want.
@braincuriosities
Learning by doing is the best! It gives an insight to why something is useful too

"They learn to learn . . " The most important thing we can give our children!
@maplebob23
I had a lot of anxiety starting in kindergarten probably owing to moving to a new school district a short while after starting. Projects, working with other children, terrified me. That being said, in my personal life I learn more by doing. Except chess.
@DadofScience
This is my the maker movement is so popular, as is STEAM education programs. They all mix learning theory with hands on experience. It engages the mind and body, and as one additional thing I remember from primary school was never being able to sit still (still an problem), projects stop the fidget and restlessness I experienced in a traditional classroom environment.
@soapygrape777
I agree. I struggle to learn when being forced to try and take in too much info in a "boring" way. I also struggle to retain info that I haven't discovered myself or that doesn't have a clear use. I do believe that would help a lot, it would help lots of kids be able to understand what they're being told and why
@VIDEOSASDE
The hybrid approach is the best, IMHO - the key is balance
@mr.gryphon
There was just a conference in New Hampshire some Co-workers of mine went to for professional development that covered this in depth, by having the teachers perform project based learning task themselves and using the experience to inform their teaching. As a teacher this is honestly my favorite method, but it is often hampered by time, class size, and online constraints. Of course we find ways around these things, I had a French Revolution themed "escape room" last year where students had to piece together clues to figure out the causes and consequences of the revolution, including a basked of decapitated ping pong balls, but it took a long time to design and implement. A central data base of such projects with clear lesson plans on how to adapt them to different classroom room environments I feel would go a long way to improving day to day instruction, especially for newer teachers.
@relentlessmadman
no wonder I hated school,,, and church.. at age 75 I find the more and longer I sit, it becomes harder, to get moving again. The more I move during the day the better I feel at the end. working as a laborer in construction I learn everything starts with the foundation!
@soundrogue4472
So I was right; learning coding via projects and including writing was much better to go for.
@revysingh
I think the original premise is fallacious. I don't remember learning to read, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an important part of my education. It was probably the greatest milestone.
@monteglover4133
Much of what I have learned was from doing often failing but often taking on projects that were just beyond my skill. Also why, ie if you’re teaching computers show what is inside. I’m planning to teach our grandkids much by doing
@essencedreamer
This is a good learning style, as some people learn kinesthetically, but for introverts or people with social anxiety, they may be too nervous to actually attempt to engage their other teammates, would want to work independently, or could just hand it over to somebody with more "leadership" capabilities.

@chasebndct
I'm a big fan of project-based learning, and it's a significant part of my course. However, I disagree with the paradigm in the video. The has to be some type of lecture content in order for students to understand the context of what they are doing / did. This is why use a flipped classroom model, in which the students watch my lectures in place of homework, and we spend class time doing hands-on activities.
