I begin with a literature review that explores the themes of effectiveness of PjBL, the role of student characteristics in PjBL, challenges associated with enacting PjBL, and improving the effectiveness of PjBL. I then argue that this process of learning can be used effectively in Home Economics and that it complements the prevailing claim that Home Economics involves \u201chands-on\u201d learning and emphasizes \u201cproblem-solving\u201d and the general use of active learning. To facilitate the use of PjBL in Home Economics I present basic information and various examples of how PjBL may be used in Home Economics education in the form of a handbook for teachers. The handbook is designed so that it can be separated from this larger document to be used in professional development workshops and circulated among home economics teachers.","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":null},{"key":"dc.relation.ispartofseries","value":"University of British Columbia.
