Abstract

Currently, there is very limited research on the value or educational objectives associated with student engagement in a fashion-show production. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to apply a project-based learning, theoretical framework (Blumenfeld, Soloway, Marx, Krajcik, Guzdial, & Palincsar, 1991) to a merchandising/promotions project that involved planning and executing a student-directed fashion show.
