Teenagers aged 15-19 years in private or public schools.
To combat the problem above, we can employ activity-based learning. Basically, youths come up with projects for personal study that will allow students to plan, create, and carry out their own learning. To begin, students must come up with an idea, a topic, or an orientation; this motivates students to engage in active learning in real-world and personally meaningful projects, resulting in solution and product development. This can be projects in technical work such as capentry, sewing, science projects, food & catering, etc.
Students often work on a project for a week to a semester that requires them to solve real-world problems, answer hard questions, and create public goods. As a result of this, students will be able to build deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking skills.
The advantages of introducing independent study projects in the classroom include opportunities for deeper thinking and the development of critical skills related to college and career readiness, as well as abilities that students will need to succeed in the future. This enhances students' attitudes toward education by allowing them to feel like builders of their own learning journey.
Provides a variety of opportunities for feedback and revision of the plan as well as project implementation, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of concepts through relevant and authentic experience. This prepares students to accept challenges in the real world, similar to what professionals do on a daily basis.
