Is PBL Total Inquiry Without Structure?

PBL Definition

In Project Based Learning, students are pulled through the curriculum by a meaningful question to explore, and engaging real-world problem to solve, or a challenge to design or create something. Before they can accomplish this, students need to inquire into the topic by asking questions and developing their own answers. To demonstrate what they learn, students create high-quality projects and present their work to other people. Students often do project work collaboratively in small teams, guided by the teacher.
