KlimaZirkus published the book “Project-based learning and innovation in an open school” (Andersen, 2020).
This article explains the ideas on learning behind the book, as well as the models that are central to the didactics related to project-based learning (PBL). Central to this is PBL’s competence model, which provides a comprehensive overview of innovation competencies and the associated learning objectives. The model can function as a formative planning and evaluation tool.
The article also introduces the model “The eight basic elements”, which describes elements that project-based learning processes must consider (Andersen, 2020).
The focus of the model is a combination of professional knowledge, skills, character, and metacognitive tools.
