This multiliteracies-oriented test is currently being used in intermediate Italian courses at a large public university in the southwestern United States. It was designed to replace the traditional oral assessments that are question-answer based, during which learners are providing predictable short answers to predictable, predetermined questions. In the multiliteracies-oriented test presented here, students perform tasks designed using the pedagogy of multiliteracies (Cope & Kalantzis, 2009; Kern, 2000; New London Group, 1996). A multiliteracies framework perceives learning as a process of discovery (Paesani, Allen, & Dupuy, 2015, p. 23), and learners are not only preparing for an assessment, but they are also engaging in forethought, design, and reflection while reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics and is an approach to education that aims to integrate these four separate disciplines. In theory, the idea of integration is clear, but in practice in a school setting it proves to be problematic due to the current structure of the educational curricula. In the current structure of educational curricula, usually only mathematics and science courses
from STEM disciplines are included in school programmes and these courses are conducted in an isolated manner separate from other disciplines. This problem may be overcome by using interrelated applications such as the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to integrate mathematics and science courses within STEM disciplines. As an interdisciplinary technology, GIS serves as a pedagogical tool for use in STEM education. Using a qualitative research paradigm, the current study evaluated a sample of junior (thirdyear) science teacher candidates (N=34) in a STEM educational setting using GIS. The data was collected from the written science texts of teacher candidates (e.g. the role of GIS in STEM teaching and science
teaching; the implementation of STEM education in science classes) before and after the teaching intervention. At the end of the study, it was discovered that a four-week long teaching intervention had a
positive effect on the science teacher candidates’ views of implementing STEM as well as improving their views on and awareness of GIS

During the last 30 years, Higher Education (HE) has changed a lot. In the Northern part of Europe, until the 1960s, the traditional universities dominated with the ideal of an elitist university with freedom of academic research, which implied searching for the truth, and with an approach to education as presenting research. After the 1960s, with the students' rebellion, the university culture changed. At the traditional universities, students started to formulate demands, and became critical of the decline of the dominant research paradigm. At the managerial level, students had more influence on the boards, and they also applied pressure to develop new educational models such as the project- and problem-based learning (PBL) models that were implemented in Bremen University in Germany, Maastricht University in the Netherlands, Linköping University in Sweden, and Aalborg and Roskilde University in Denmark. During the 1970s and 1980s, the predominant picture was still that of traditional universities, but the university system expanded because of increased enrolment numbers (Carter et al., 2003) Often in history, unexpected partnerships occur: one of these partnerships was between the students' movements and industry. Many of the students' criticisms and alternatives, such as peer learning and problem-based and project-based learning, went hand in hand with demands from industry. For example, Aalborg University in Denmark was established in 1974 as a PBL university, due to lobbying from industry as well as being a result of the students' movement. This partnership was founded due to the fact that the largest faculty at Aalborg University was the Faculty of Engineering. It has been well known that there is a need for the ability to manage projects and co-operate, particularly in the technological field

English language teaching (ELT) at rural schools may pose challenges like insufficient resources and a lack of students' interest. Integrating real-life-based and learner-centred methods like project-based learning (PBL) into rural English classes may help improve the quality of ELT in such contexts, yet the issue still remains underexplored. This case study aims to devise a PBL model for the English classes at a rural school and investigate the effects of PBL on the development of linguistic and non-linguistic competencies as well as the benefits and challenges of the process along with suggested solutions. The data were collected through closed-and open-ended questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and students' productions. According to the results, PBL was seen to affect students' progress in multidimensional ways. The data suggest that thanks to PBL, the students' interest and confidence in using English increased, and their English language proficiency improved. Besides, the students were found to have developed their real-life related skills like time management, creativity, autonomous decision-making, oral presentation, and computer use. However, PBL was also defined to be a challenging process requiring full devotion and a heavy workload. This study indicates PBL can be an effective means to improve the quality of ELT in rural education.

Considering the worldwide acceptance of problem/project-based learning methods, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Dokuz Eylül University replaced its curriculum with a modular-based problem/project oriented one in Fall 2002. Current education system consists of sequentially given two, three or four week-long problem or project-based modules. Different from the conventional approach, in our system traditional courses are individually covered as independent modules given in sequential manner. While the first three years consist mainly of problem-based modules, senior year is purely project oriented. In this study, we present our experiences through the example of a senior year module. Our experience suggests that project-oriented learning in senior year is an effective method of teaching not only the theoretical or practical aspects of the subject matter but also the necessary qualities for real life experiences of soon-to-be engineers.

Enriching academic vocabulary in language learning is the paramount importance to EFL students. The purposes of this current study are intended to reveal the effectiveness of project-based learning using a vocabulary journal and explore the students' perspective toward the implementation of a vocabulary journal as their project in the vocabulary class. This study employed a mixed-method design. The subjects were 44 undergraduate students, majoring English Education Department. The data obtained were from a test, interview, questionnaire, and observation. In the vocabulary class, the students were treated to use a vocabulary journal to enrich their vocabulary lists. The findings of this research showed significant results of the students' achievement in the vocabulary mastery and positive results from the students' responses to the use of a vocabulary journal in their language learning. Thus, project-based learning using a vocabulary journal might be assumed as an alternative way of teaching vocabulary.

Whilst much attention has focused on project-based approaches to teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, little has been reported on the views of South-East Asian science teachers on project-based STEM approaches. Such knowledge could provide relevant information for education training institutions on how to influence innovative teaching of STEM subjects in schools. This article reports on a study that investigated the perceptions of 25 pre-service and 21 in-service Malaysian science teachers in adopting an interdisciplinary project-based STEM approach to teaching science. The teachers undertook an eight hour workshop which exposed them to different science-based STEM projects suitable for presenting science content in the Malaysian high school science syllabus. Data on teachers' perceptions were captured through surveys, interviews, open-ended questions and classroom discussion before and at the end of the workshop. Study findings showed that ...

Die Projektmethode, auch als Projektunterricht, Projektarbeit, Projektlernen bekannt und oft in besonderen Projektwochen und Projekttagen verwirklicht, zählt zu den meistdiskutierten Methoden des Unterrichts. Sie ist eine Unterform des handlungsorientierten Lernens und gilt als ein hervorragendes Mittel, um intrinsische Motivation zu fördern, selbständiges Denken zu entwickeln, erworbenes Wissen anzuwenden, Selbstbewußtsein zu erzeugen und soziale Verantwortung einzuüben. Diese Ziele sollen dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Schüler ihre eigenen Interessen und Vorstellungen einbringen und Themen und Probleme der natürlichen und gesellschaftlichen Umwelt möglichst frei und selbstbestimmt bearbeiten. Projekte sind produkt- und öffentlichkeitsorientiert und – anders als etwa Lehrgang und Übung – nicht an enge Disziplin- und Fächergrenzen gebunden. Auf eine knappe Formel gebracht, kann man die Projektmethode als eine Methode des praktischen Problemlösens definieren, die den Schülern im größeren Umfang eigenständiges und konstruktives Arbeiten abverlangt.
