About this initiative

This study investigated student experiences and evaluations of accredited Project Based Learning (PBL) (otherwise termed as Work-Integrated Learning) in the business discipline. Students were provided with project briefs from industry, and over the course of three months worked in teams to address the brief. The aim of this project was to evaluate a PBL approach to identify related learnings for teaching practice, specifically evaluating (1) How does PBL impact on development of authentic learning goals; and (2) How does student motivation impact on achievement during PBL?
