Project-Based Learning and Students' Content Achievement : Second Baccalaureate Students as a Case Study

Author : Abdessallam Khamouja

Abstract :Students’ achievement refers to the extent to which learners have acquired their short- or long-term educational goals. Good academic achievements give students the opportunity to enhance the necessary knowledge and practical skills they will need in their future schooling. This pushes second year teachers to rely on modern teaching methods in their teaching process, such as project-based learning, to make their students successful in their learning and develop the 21st century skills. Therefore, the present study is conducted in a Moroccan high school, using a quasi-experimental research design to find out the extent to which the PBL helps students in learning the content of English successfully. Forty high school students studying English at the second-year baccalaureate level participated in the experiment. They were divided into the experiment and control groups. The experimental group was given a project to conduct, and the control group started studying Unit 4 of the Ticket 2 English Textbook, which was about sustainable development. The findings indicate that there is a significant difference between the means of the experimental and control groups after the experiment. Consequently, it is suggested that teachers should adopt project-based learning in their teaching process to help students learn the subject content successfully.

Keywords :project-based learning, students’ content achievement, and soft skills.
