DESIGNING A PROJECT-BASED LEARNING PROCESS FOR TEACHING FOOD SAFETY AND HYGIENE IN GRADE 11 BIOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Project-based learning (PBL) is an active teaching model that has gained widespread adoption in high schools due to its pedagogical benefits. In the context of Biology education, PBL enables students to engage with content through meaningful, real-world projects. Through this, students actively and independently acquire knowledge, develop and enhance their self-directed learning skills, communication and collaboration skills, creative problem-solving skills, and scientific inquiry skills. Moreover, the model promotes core values such as honesty and responsibility and strengthens the connection between theory and practice. This study presents a structured process for implementing a project-based learning unit on the topic of “Food Safety and Hygiene,” a subject of significant contemporary relevance. The project tasks are designed to encourage Grade 11 students to apply their knowledge to solve real-world issues related to food safety and hygiene, in alignment with the objectives of Vietnam’s 2018 General Education Curriculum.
