Abstract
Project learning, as a teaching strategy, has been used in the classroom since the early 20th century. Despite its historical background, it has not been popular among the Hong Kong teachers until it becomes one of the four key tasks in the current education reform. Nevertheless, many teachers still think that project learning is time-consuming, as well as a burden to their teaching load. Sometimes, the effect of project learning is not good because students have not yet accustomed to learning by themselves, apart from not yet acquiring the necessary social skills for project learning. It is recommended that teachers should adopt the kind of project learning that focuses on learning something new rather than consolidating something old, in addition to using cooperative learning to prepare students for project learning.
