“…We learn from Knoll (1997) that in the educational field the project method is first formally defined by Kilpatrick (1918) who was heavily influenced by the progressive educational reformers of the time, specifically Dewy and theories of experiential learning. He placed the student at the heart of the project method and insisted that projects be interdisciplinary, unplanned and proceed according to the motivation and direction of those participatingin his own words 'a wholehearted purposeful activity in a social environment' (Kilpatrick 1918, 2).…”

Any pedagogy of media practice sits at the intersection between training for employment and education for critical thinking. As such, the use of projects is a primary means of structuring learning experiences as a means of mirroring professional practice. Yet, our understanding of the nature of projects and of project-based learning is arguably under-theorised and largely taken for granted. This paper attempts to address this issue through a synthesis of the literature from organisational studies and experiential learning. The article aims to shift the debate around project-based learning away from an instrumentalist agenda, to one that considers the social context and lived experience of projects and re-conceptualises projects as ontological modalities of doing, being and becoming. In this way, the article aims to provide a means for thinking about the use of project-based learning within the media practice curriculum that draws on metaphors of discovery, rather than of construction.
