PROJECT PROBEX (PROJECT-BASED EXPLORATION): UTILIZATION OF PROJECT BASED-LEARNING AS A TEACHING APPROACH IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICES (FBS) LESSONS

Abstract

The Project ProBEx or Project-Based Exploration is a proposed exploratory research project which aimed to determine if project-based learning is an effective teaching approach to improve the performance task results in Food and Beverage Services (FBS) lessons among Grade 8 students of Mamplasan National High School. There were two sets of forty Grade 8 students from heterogenous sections randomly selected to participate in the study. Under quasi-experimental study, the two groups of participating students were assessed based on their performance tasks output using the performance tasks from Learning Packet and the project-based learning activity alternatives by the researcher. Using T-test statistical tool, the results showed that there was a significant difference on the performance task results of the two groups of participating students using performance tasks from LeaP and project-based learning activities. Based on the result, project-based learning activity alternatives by the researcher is more effective tool to use than the performance tasks from Leap to improve the performance tasks results of the students in Food and Beverage Services (FBS) lessons.
