Project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that provides students with complex tasks based on questions or problems that involve the students' problem solving and decision making skills and includes teacher assistance, but not direction.
PBL is focused on questions that prompt students to think about the concepts and of a subject by being hands-on. PBL allows students to develop valuable research skills as students engage in design, problem solving, decision making, and investigative activities.
The aim of PBL is that students learn from these authentic experiences and take them into the world outside their classroom.
The following clip discusses three different teachers approaches to PBL.

The role of the TL in PBL would be crucial, as TL can guide students toward the appropriate resources and be on hand to assist with any queries. As the TL is aware of resources, emerging technology and relevant programs, they work hand in hand with classroom teachers in promoting individual learning and foster researching skills.
