Project Based Learning - WeLearn Academy Thailand

Project Based Learning

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a cornerstone of the WeLearn model, forming the third essential pillar that brings learning to life for our learners. At WeLearn, PBL is designed to engage, challenge, and inspire learners, guiding them to go beyond knowledge by fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. It empowers learners to apply the skills and knowledge they’ve gained from our core online academic program and Future Skills courses to tackle real-world global challenges—challenges that they and future generations will face.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our PBL approach provides learners with the opportunity to work on projects that address pressing global issues like climate change, poverty, and inequality. By using SDGs as a foundation for PBL topics, we help learners understand the relevance of their work on a global scale, encouraging them to become responsible, compassionate leaders capable of making a positive impact on the world.

In addition, our PBL curriculum incorporates an innovative learning model by blending technology, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and real-world problem-solving. This unique approach empowers learners to develop and implement innovative solutions to global issues. By integrating these tools and disciplines, we ensure that learners are prepared for academic success and equipped with the skills to become creative problem-solvers and changemakers.

As education evolves globally, traditional schools are gradually incorporating more project-based learning into their curricula. This shift happens for one simple reason: students retain and understand far more when they can apply what they’ve learned to solve meaningful, real-world problems. However, the structure of conventional subject-based learning and the traditional focus of many schools often make it difficult to implement true project-based learning. At WeLearn, our flexible program and multidisciplinary approach—integrated from the very beginning—allow us to offer a robust PBL experience, empowering learners to become proficient in academic subjects while addressing the complex, multifaceted issues facing their generation.
