Abstract
This article investigates the role of project-based learning (PBL) in developing students' social-emotional skills in secondary education. As modern classrooms increasingly emphasize holistic development, integrating academic learning with emotional and interpersonal competencies has become essential. Project-based methods offer authentic, collaborative, and student-driven learning experiences that naturally foster self-regulation, empathy, teamwork, and resilience. The article draws on theoretical frameworks and recent empirical studies to explore how PBL can be used as an effective strategy to enhance social-emotional learning (SEL) outcomes among adolescents.
