Quest-based learning (QBL) frames an entire curriculum as a series of interconnected missions or challenges.

Each 'quest' requires students to apply their knowledge to solve a problem or create something new.

This approach transforms passive students into active protagonists in their own learning adventure.

In a history class, a quest might be to 'decode an ancient manuscript' to learn about a civilization.

In science, students could embark on a 'mission to Mars' that requires them to solve physics and biology challenges.

QBL is inherently interdisciplinary, as quests often require knowledge from multiple subjects.

It allows for personalized learning paths, as students can often choose which quests to undertake.

This model promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity over rote memorization.

By providing context and purpose, QBL answers the age-old student question: 'Why do I need to learn this?'
