What is project-based learning primarily centered around?

• theoretical concepts

• real-world projects

• individual assignments

• group discussions

How can project-based learning be assessed?

• Assessment can be done using rubrics, self-assessments, peer evaluations, presentations, and reflection journals.

• Evaluating solely on group project grades

• Assessing based on attendance and punctuality

How does mastery learning differ from traditional learning?

• Mastery learning emphasizes individual mastery of content before progression, while traditional learning follows a fixed pace for all students.

• Traditional learning focuses on group projects rather than individual assessments.

• Mastery learning allows students to progress at their own pace regardless of understanding.

• Mastery learning is only applicable in math and science subjects.
