Urban Farm DB summary

This literature review evaluated Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an instructional strategy for fostering critical thinking skills in elementary school students. The study found that PjBL aligns with elementary students' cognitive development, offering opportunities for learning through real interaction and problem-solving. Empirical studies suggest PjBL is more effective than traditional methods in enhancing critical thinking, though challenges like limited teacher resources and time constraints need addressing.
