dc.description.abstractThe study was carried out at Uganda Hotel and Tourism Training Institute (UHTTI) and it focused on using Project Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching method. The purpose of the study was to improve my practice as a vocational teacher of pastry and bakery. This was done by conducting two practical lessons using PBL. The first one was done and observations were made by students and participant colleagues. Basing on their observations, a second project was held to check whether I had made some improvement in the organization and implementation of PBL. The study was driven by the following objectives; conducting pastry and bakery practical lessons by using PBL, discovering the learners’ outcomes from PBL, finding out the challenges of PBL and the way forward for UHTTI. The research design was qualitative, in which case a descriptive and explanatory nature of writing was adopted. The research approach used was action research. This involved planning, observing, acting, and evaluating almost at every stage of the research process. Purposive sampling was used to get a sample size of 30 participants. These included 25 students, 2 administrators and 3 colleagues. To collect data, I used methods like focus group discussions, participant observations, the log book and interviews. The results show that learners get outcomes like generation of new knowledge, communication and leadership skills, time management skills, skills of creativity and innovation. The teacher of PBL needed to continue improvement in the areas of scaffolding learning, teaching students about group dynamics before project starts, and general preparation before the project, such as rehearsing the project and making models for the students. The main challenges discovered with PBL is that it consumes a lot of time, controlling learners’ discipline is hard and its expensive in terms of materials used in the practicallanguage
