Knowledge in Action™ "AP+" Project: Research on a Project-Based Learning Approach to AP

In 2008-09, researchers at the University of Washington and its LIFE Center (Learning in Informal and Formal Environments), together with curriculum specialists and teachers in the Bellevue, Washington, schools, designed and implemented a project-based version of the AP U. S. Government and Politics course. They then used students’ scores on the AP exam as well as new measures to assess students’ deeper learning to compare the effectiveness of this class with a traditionally taught course.
