Project-Based Learning: Students’ perspectives in project assessment in cross-cultural studies classes at Dong Thap University

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a positive teaching and learning method that was applied in cross-cultural studies for English majors at Dong Thap University. This study was aimed to explore students’ perspectives regarding conventional assessment (which means only teachers assess students’ learning in this research) as well as their ideas when they could participate in assessing their learning process in PBL. The research findings show that while students trust their teachers’ assessment if teachers alone evaluate their learning projects, they highly appreciate that they can be part of the assessment process.
