Application and effect evaluation of project-based learning in computer science teaching reform

This study examines the application of project-based learning (PBL) in computer science education, specifically evaluating its effects on student engagement, problem-solving skills, and overall academic achievement. As traditional teaching methods often struggle to meet the needs of the rapidly evolving computer science industry, PBL has emerged as an innovative approach to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and hands-on experience. By analyzing case studies and empirical data from computer science courses implementing PBL, we explore the alignment of PBL with industry requirements and its role in enhancing student learning outcomes. The results demonstrate that PBL enhances student engagement and facilitates a deeper understanding of core computer science concepts, suggesting that PBL is a valuable reformative strategy for computer science education.
