Description
Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a powerful instructional approach, especially in STEM education, by promoting deeper conceptual understanding through hands-on activities. This study employs an Educational Design Research (Qualitative Research to investigate the impact of PBL in geometric optics, focusing on the design and application of a laser waterdrop microscope. By incorporating structured project work into the secondary school physics curriculum (ages 15–18), the research evaluates how PBL compares to traditional textbook-based instruction in three areas: conceptual retention, problem-solving skills, and student engagement.
