Empowering Leaders: A Work in Progress on Promoting Leadership Roles in Online Learning through Project-Based Learning (PBL)

Abstract

This article explores the evolving landscape of online learning and the pivotal role of project-based learning (PBL) in fostering leadership skills among student teachers. As education continues to transition to virtual platforms, there is a growing need to cultivate leadership qualities in student teachers to prepare them for the dynamic challenges of the digital age. Student teachers need to develop proficiency in digital pedagogy, which includes not only using technology for teaching but also understanding how to engage students in meaningful ways in an online setting.. Therefore,  this work in progress aims to shed light on ongoing initiatives, strategies, and best practices in integrating PBL to promote and develop leadership roles within the online learning environment. By engaging in projects, student teachers learn to facilitate active, inquiry-based learning experiences for their future students.
