Factor Analysis of Pre- and Post-PBL Activities Based on Essential Competencies for the 100-Year Life

Abstract

This research investigated whether essential skills can be improved through Project-Based Learning (PBL) activities. Previous studies have already established that PBL experiences can lead to improved essential skills. However, given the variety of projects that can be undertaken using PBL, the essential skills developed in these activities may vary. To address this, a questionnaire survey was conducted among team members belonging to a seminar at a university. The survey results were then analyzed to compare the development of essential skills between team and individual settings. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide a clearer understanding of how essential skills can be developed through PBL and how this may vary depending on the nature of the project and the team dynamics.
