PROJECT-BASED LEARNING AS AN INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGY FOR ENHANCING RESEARCH COMPETENCE OF PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the potential of Project-Based Learning (PBL) as an innovative teaching method for strengthening research competence among pre-service English language teachers. PBL provides an active and inquiry-based learning environment that encourages critical reasoning, independent investigation, and problem-solving skills essential for educational research. Drawing on classroom practices and observation conducted at a teacher training institution in Uzbekistan, the study highlights the effectiveness of PBL in preparing future educators for evidence-based teaching and scholarly inquiry.
