Project Strategy:
“A project is any activity,
individual or group, involving the investigation and solution of problems,
planned and carried out to conclusion under the guidance of the teacher.”
-Callahan & Clark.
Ø Project strategy is a form of scheme that
allows us to collect information, investigate different levels of assignments
with the manipulative drawbacks and with the ongoing process learners’
capability is highly recognized and implemented.
Ø Project can happen in any form. It
can either be individual or a group work. It involves creative and reflective
thinking to see upon, explore and clarify problems and draws conclusion with
proper guidance of the teacher.
Ø The
strategy activates active participation from the students with effectiveness in
social interaction carried out in a natural setting or real life situation.
This method creates always a room for opportunity to acquire or practice social
skills. It enables the students to study functional aspects of the subjects
learnt. The teacher acts as a facilitator or a guide and thus promotes
independent learning.
Types of project strategy:

Producer type
2) The
Consumer type
3) The
Problem type
4) The
Drill type
