Why PFA uses Project-Based Assessment?

Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with their learning in more concrete ways. Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've learned from an in-depth exploration of a topic.

Proline Film Academy uses projects as part of the ongoing learning process or as a capstone assessment in place of a traditional final exam. Project-based assessment is often a component of project-based learning (PBL), in which the entire focus of a course or unit is to teach via student engagement in problem-solving and exploration. Like PBL, project-based assessment is
student-centered and requires reflection on both the process and the content to be meaningful.

HOW PFA STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM PROJECT-BASED ASSESSMENT:
There are many ways in which Proline Film Academy's project-based assessments type of learning benefit students. Below are a few key benefits.

✅ Authenticity:
The best projects are authentic in that they provide real-life experiences and opportunities to apply learning to areas that affect students' communities. Increasing engagement with the world around them prepares students to be good citizens in addition to making them college and career-ready.
Colleges and employers require students who can do more than just memorize subject-area information.

✅ Motivation:
The best designed project-based assessments give PFA students voice and choice; that is, students can select the work that is most meaningful to them.
This increases engagement and motivation to do well and opens the door for deeper, richer learning that will stick with students for life.
They also have the opportunity to share their work and develop strong communication skills in addition to standard subject-area knowledge.

✅ Metacognition:
Proline Film Academy's Well-designed project-based assessments provide significant feedback to students about their progress along the way.
Instead of waiting for the results of a single test, they can make their own goals and benchmarks to track their learning.
This requires designing clear, detailed rubrics that students can use to measure their progress as they work. Informal check-ins will also help students sharpen their thinking and build confidence as they work.

✅ Collaboration:
Proline Film Academy's Projects are the perfect opportunity for students to work together toward a common goal.
Small group work is linked to better retention of information and career-readiness thanks to the "soft skills" involved in working with others regularly.
Structured collaboration is key, so points should be clearly divided between group goals and individual progress to provide an accurate measure of learning.

✅Creativity:
Because Proline Film Academy's project-based learning often involves problem-solving, students develop creativity and critical thinking skills that serve them well in college and careers.
Group projects in particular can boost this effect—studies have found that when students focus on overcoming conflict together instead of avoiding it, their academic and career-ready skills experience a boost.
Finding innovative ways to approach a problem is great practice for applying skills in any future endeavor.
