PBEL creates opportunities to build some 21st-century skills that are critical for thriving in this fast-paced, technology-powered, information-burdened society that we live in.
One such skill is “Resourcefulness”
PBEL encourages resourcefulness. Learning through experience, reflection, integration, and application, requires students to gather information on their own rather than through direct instruction.
PBEL experience encourages students to explore topics and investigate questions by contacting community experts and organizing learning activities.
Collaborating with the community and utilizing community resources is one such way to practice resourcefulness.
Resourcefulness is a very important skill in today’s scenario. It’s a person's ability to find efficient and innovative ways to overcome challenges. Being resourceful also involves resource optimization to make something new or better. This ability to adapt and solve problems creatively increases the ability to achieve the desired goal.
