“…Regarding its beginnings, there is speculation about the origin of the term project, considering the possibility that its beginnings emerged at the end of the 16th century, through the work of European schools of architecture, to later make the leap to America and become in an established method of teaching in public schools. 52 The next steps would be taken around 1865, hand in hand with the educational theories on pragmatism, experiential learning and progressive (or, rather, progressive) pedagogy proposed by John Dewey, who conveyed the need for students to socialize in the school, as a replica of real life, carrying out life learning, not theoretical or symbolic, but fully integrated with their future after school, giving complete continuity to this process. 53 The method was spreading, being applied to manual labor training, science, and also agricultural education.…”

The creative performance, as well as other exclusively human capabilities will be the qualities that the future workers must have, due to what has been called the fourth industrial revolution. Therefore, teachers have the obligation to investigate and innovate on new techniques and implement methodologies that promote these skills. The Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology has shown great benefits in this regard, and there are innovative fields, such as lucid dreams, which could be a new tool for enhancing creative performance. Therefore, the aims of this work were to review the related literature to verify that an intervention using the PBL methodology could be combined with research in lucid dreams in an applicable, relevant, well-founded, coherent, and original way. The second aim was to develop an ABP proposal with these elements to enhance the critical skills that students will need in the future, with special emphasis on creativity. We conclude that this proposal meets the revised characteristics, and we include the design of the proposal, gathering these elements. As a continuation of this work, we intend to carry out an investigation analyzing the data that may be offered by different classrooms that apply the program.

“…PBL enables learners to acquire and use these skills in and outside the classroom. (Baghoussi & El Ouchdi, 2019;Burlbaw et al, 2013;Eskrootchi & Oskrochi, 2010;Thomas, 2000).…”

“…Constructivism has become a crucial component of PBL due to its emphasis on learners' experiences (Mioduser & Betzer, 2007). Some researchers (Baghoussi & El Ouchdi, 2019;Bell, 2010;Burlbaw et al, 2013;Dolmans et al, 2005;Slough & Milam, 2013;Thomas, 2000;) explained that students build on their existing knowledge when they are exposed to different experiences and problems.…”

“…Habók and Nagy (2016) indicate that social constructivism emphasizes the importance of social interaction as a learning theory. The social environment is a crucial element for learning since it prepares social interactions with skilful others (Baghoussi & El Ouchdi, 2019;Bell, 2010;Burlbaw et al, 2013;Dolmans et al, 2005;Habók & Nagy, 2016;Thomas, 2000). This predicts that learners can construct new understanding through interaction with the environment (Demian, 2007;Dolmans et al, 2005;Panasan & Nuangchalerm, 2010).…”

“…This inclusion is also predicted to prepare students for higher education, which stresses what students are taught and what they actually do later in their jobs. Success in a job depends heavily on the interaction between knowledge that students developed through engagement in PBL during their studies and their application of this knowledge (Burlbaw et al, 2013). Bell (2010) points out that PBL is a student-centered and teacher-facilitated approach that allows students to seek knowledge by raising questions about contexts that interest them and attract their natural curiosity.…”

Project-based learning (PBL) helps students gain a deep understanding of the knowledge they acquire, develops higher levels of learning, and promotes the motivation to learn. Through self-inquiry, self-planning, and investigation, students learn to be independent thinkers and autonomous learners and pursue their learning needs by seeking solutions for real-life problems. The objective of this study was to explore the extent to which PBL approach helped 146 student-teachers at the College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, develop their course design skills. The study utilized a questionnaire with multiple sections. The students were asked for their opinion about the approach, the difficulties they encountered, and suggestions for improvement. The results revealed that the students’ responses were positive. The students enjoyed the project and agreed that it helped them gain many of the principles of courses design, as well as a host of academic skills. The students also reported a few challenges faced during the project such as needs analysis and writing goals and objectives. Teacher preparation programs in other contexts can benefit from the course design and the study findings to introduce change to their courses. Researchers and practitioners can also benefit from the challenges faced in implementing PBL in higher education institutions where one would expect students to be highly independent.
