Abstract


Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is an instructional model that enhances students' motivation and learning outcomes because it encourages active engagement, collaboration, and problem-solving. This study reviews the existing literature on the effectiveness of PjBL in various educational settings. A systematic review of research articles published between 2021 and 2023 was conducted using Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The findings indicate that PjBL significantly increases students' enthusiasm for learning because it provides hands-on experiences and real-world applications. Studies also show that PjBL improves problem-solving skills and academic achievement because it fosters deeper understanding through experiential learning. Additionally, integrating technology, such as interactive quizzes and video-based platforms, further enhances the benefits of PjBL. However, challenges such as resource limitations and teacher preparedness must be addressed. This review highlights the need for further studies on optimizing PjBL implementation across different disciplines.
