Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) has always aroused the interest of teachers who are keen to adopt an active pedagogy that puts students at the center of the learning process and promotes what is called "learning by doing". And although the principles of PBL are clear and unambiguous, its implementation in practice can run into some difficulties.The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach based on a practical model that will serve as a guide for teachers who want to implement PBL.This approach includes the steps to be followed, the tools to be used in each phase and specifies the different stakeholders involved in the process and their respective roles. To illustrate how to implement this new approach, we will be presenting a case study showing how we applied PBL in the module "Integration Project" targeting computer science students at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies of Beja (ISET). This implementation allowed us to evaluate the impact of our approach on the students' skills and on the quality of their final projects. The evaluation surveys that were conducted in this regard revealed a qualitative leap in the quality of the end-of-studies project (PFE) in terms of the advanced technologies used and an increase in the technical and transversal skills of the students
