Project method, as a synonym of student-centered learning activity, is expected to be revitalized in schooling hereafter. But its basic idea and practices have been evaluated from the beginning. The evaluative discourses have centered on the social context of learning, major concept of students` `wholeheartedness` in learning process and the logic of subject matter. Theses evaluative perspectives should be considered to be meaningful in present schooling situation, in order to supplement the limits of current understanding of project method and to consolidate the ground for introducing project approach into the existing school curriculum. Above all, in thinking about the school curriculum, it is the potential of project method to reemphasize the importance of psychological dimension of learners. It can facilitate to transform our basic assumptions on learning experience and school curriculum.
