Design-based learning is an instructional approach in which students learn academic content and skills by working through the process of designing, building, and refining a solution to an authentic problem, integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines such as science, mathematics, and engineering along the way. It typically follows an iterative design cycle of identifying a problem, brainstorming and prototyping solutions, testing them, and refining the design based on feedback, mirroring practices used in engineering and industrial design. The approach is closely associated with STEM and STEAM education initiatives that aim to make abstract academic concepts concrete through hands-on, problem-driven project work.
