Popis: The aim of the research was to investigate the effects of Project-Based Learning method in developing the 21st century skills of the Grade 7 students in Computer Hardware Servicing and compare it to that of lecture-discussion method. This is an experimental research which utilized the QuasiExperimental research design specifically the Non-equivalent Control Group Design with Pretest and Posttest. There were twenty (20) research respondents in the experimental group and twenty (20) research respondents in the control group. The experimental group was exposed to project-based learning method while the control group was exposed to lecture-discussion method. The validated and reliability – tested pretest were given prior to their exposure to project-based learning and lecture-discussion methods. Posttest was administered after the instructional intervention. The data collected from the pretest and posttest performance were analyzed using the mean and t-test. Findings of the research investigation are as follows: the experimental and control groups obtained low in their test performance in Computer Hardware Servicing in the pretest. During the posttest, both groups obtained average in their performance. There is significant difference in the levels of performance in the pretest and posttest of the experimental group and control group. It was found out that there is no significant difference as to the effectiveness between project-based learning method and lecture-discussion method. It was revealed that project-based learning method and lecture-discussion method are good methods in teaching Computer Hardware Servicing
