Brown  \nAlabama State University  \nAbstract  \nProject based learning instructional strategies have been used in the K-12 and college setting to activate learning and engagement. Problem Based Learning allows students to learn by taking on real world problems. Research and literature shows that Project Based Learning can increase collaboration, problem-solving skills, communication, self-direction, creativity, timemanagement, and work-ethic (Wurdinger & Qureshi, 2015) . Moreover, literature reveals that 21st century teaching strategies such as flipped learning can enhance Project Based Learning Strategies (Sams & Bergman, 2013) . Recent research and professional discussion reveal that more guidelines and accountability lead to better outcomes when using Project Based Learning (Cooper et al., 2017 ; Ferren & Anderson, 2016 ; & Klyoster et al., 2018) . This meta-analysis explores the mostrecent scholarly research in Project Based Learning and addresses the need for guidance and accountability.  \nKey Words: Flipped Classroom, Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, Instructional Technology, Accountability  \nBell (2010) defines project-based learning as an advanced approach to education that teaches an abundance of ideas critical for success in the twenty-first century where students drive their learning through study, as well as working together to research and create projects that reflect their knowledge. The idea of learning by doing is a critical component of project-based learning. This idea was studied and developed by John Dewey’s “theory of inquiry” in the late 1800’s. During the last twenty years, insurmountable research has developed demonstrating the positive benefits of project-based learning in the classroom (Bell, 2010) . More recently, within the last few years’ research is showing that guidelines and accountability lead to better outcomes when using project-based learning (Cooper et al., 2017; Ferren & Anderson, 2016 ; & Klyoster et al., 2018) . Effective project-based learning allows 21st-century learners to collaborate utilizing an open system across multiple disciplines.  \nThere is a difference between how students are guided on student projects and projectbased learning. According to Sam Houston State University (2018), project-based learning is inquiry-based, open-ended, ongoing, engaging, problem-solving, driving, and contextualizing versus traditional student projects which are teacher directed, highly structured, summative, thematic, fun, answer given, and de-contextualized. The university also asserts that project-based learning has elements of traditional student projects; however, there is a more formative assessment as part of the guidance, and project-based learning activities are centered around realworld problems.  \nProject-based learning has become a main staple in educational pedagogy across multiple disciplines at the higher education level. Due to the National Academy of Engineering calling for revitalization in how engineering students are instructed, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute found that incorporating project-based learning across multiple STEM disciplines included high student engagement amongst other benefits (Gadhamshetty et al., 2016) . These students already had success in courses related to their STEM subjects leading to their admittance into their respective programs. Thus, students had a depth of pre-existing knowledge that their teachers could guide them on in their project-based learning pursuits.  \nEarly project-based research models used a more open approach to project-based learning where students guided more of their education. However, more recent research demonstrates that professors are guiding pre-existing knowledge (Cooper et al., 2017 ; Ferren & Anderson, 2016 ; & Klyoster et al., 2018) .
