Abstrakt
In this paper, attention was given to proofs of project-based education (PBE) effectiveness and other related issues reported in recent literature oriented on science education. First, PBE method is set into a context together with problem- and inquiry-based education.
Second, a literature search was conducted resulting in 77 papers published on this topic. After a more detailed evaluation 18 papers which fit the scope of the research were analysed.
Reported values of PBE's effectiveness reaching up to 97% suggest that when implemented carefully PBE outperforms the traditional teaching approach. Apart from the effectiveness, the analysed papers offer insights into the state of the art which is transformed into concrete implications for teachers, students and researchers in this paper.
