Abstract

Works by project at school, better known now as project-based learning (PBL) has not appeared in recent years, nor is a fashion invented by those who market or speculate with educational innovation. With the name of method of projects, it is a proposal with a history of more than one hundred years and that appears linked to the traditional education criticism and to the union of education with social transformation. The Pedagogical Renewal Movements (PRM) also show that same critical and transforming desire, at both school and the unjust society in which they live. In this article, with the help of a biographical-narrative research, a study is carried out about the meaning of works by project for a teacher with over thirty years' experience using this methodology and a long history of MRP militancy. The relationships between the use of this methodology and the teaching identity conformed by her extensive experience as a militant, the characteristics of work by projects that she considers essential, and the educational and social purposes she intends, are analyzed.
