Abstract
The exam-oriented Chinese education has a long history in China. After the introduction of Project-based learning, an educational method contrary to Chinese education, into China, many scholars and even parents began to compare the two methods and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. As the subject of education, students' opinions on educational methods are crucial. This study collected 31 participants who had experienced two educational methods, Chinese education, and project-based learning, and investigated their approval and affection of these two educational methods, as well as the effectiveness of their learning and their preference between the two methods through questionnaires. participants were asked what they thought were the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of education using multiple choice questions. The survey results show that participants generally prefer project-based learning because of its relaxed classroom atmosphere. However, some of them think that in project-based learning, there are always team members who will delay the progress or quality of the project.
