www.slayte.com Changes of Project Based Learning Effectiveness due to the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract Project based learning (PBL) is an effective student-centered method to improve students’understanding. However, most PBL learning techniques rely heavily on a sequence of activitieswhich require interaction with other humans or components and equipment in the laboratory. Formany years, this method has proven effective and reliable particularly in STEM education. During the year when COVID-19 hit the world, PBL based education was implemented in thesame exact manner as previous years to teach a course in electronics to senior students in highschool. However, remarkable deterioration was observed in students

]. Bakırcı & Karışan [8] found that math PSThad lower STEM awareness than science and primary PST teachers. Many teach how theylearned within traditional settings [9]. PSTs can feel intimidated and overwhelmed whenincorporating engineering design or STEM [10], and need more help creating interdisciplinaryideas when un-siloing STEM content [11]. Katehi et al. [4] suggest that for teachers to teachengineering confidently, they must either have a STEM background or partner with someonewho does.PST education programs have a variety of methods to integrate STEM and Engineering into theircourse work.

What evidence isthere that kindness is congruent or incongruent with engineering education? What is the value ofconsidering kindness in comparison to the constructs of care, empathy, and compassion? Theperspectives of a variety of scholars are synthesized in this analysis. This is followed by concreteexamples of teaching and course practices that are emblematic of kindness, such ascompassionate pedagogy.
