Performance-Based Learning

Performance-Based Learning is an educational approach that emphasizes students demonstrating their understanding through real-world tasks and skills rather than just passing tests or completing rote assignments. Instead of focusing primarily on memorizing information, learners show what they can do—such as solving problems, creating projects, or applying knowledge to practical situations. This method ensures that students acquire meaningful competencies they can use outside the classroom, fostering critical thinking and mastery. It’s a more flexible and personalized way of learning, allowing students to progress when they’ve truly demonstrated understanding, rather than simply reaching a certain number of completed activities.
