Question

Identification of a project leader generally falls under which of the following steps of Project Based Learning?

• A. Defining a plan
• B. Fixing of a time frame and processing
• C. Identification of a project
• D. Providing guidance and monitoring a project

Hint:

A leader is a role assigned while planning who does what.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Project Based Learning has stages: identifying the project, defining a plan, fixing a time frame and processing, giving guidance and monitoring, and showing the outcome. We must place the choice of a project leader in one of them. The paper carries no answer key, so the placement is taken from the usual teaching of these steps.

Step 2: Think about when a leader is needed.
A leader is chosen when the team is formed and roles are given. This happens while the plan is prepared, because the plan lists who will do which task and who will coordinate.

Step 3: Check option 1.
In the stage of defining a plan the team is made, roles and responsibilities are set and a leader is named. So option 1 is the best fit.

Step 4: Check option 2.
Fixing a time frame is about deadlines and the schedule of work. It does not choose people. So option 2 is not the best fit.

Step 5: Check option 3.
Identification of a project is about choosing the topic or problem. The team is not yet in place. So option 3 is not the best fit.

Step 6: Check option 4.
Guidance and monitoring happen when work is going on, and they are done by the teacher or leader who already exists. So option 4 is not the best fit.

Final Answer:
Identifying a project leader falls under defining a plan, option 1. The answer is judged from the standard PBL steps, so it is slightly less certain. \[ \boxed{1} \]
