As is known education is the most important factor for the sustainable development of societies. The problems that encountered in the education system, impact this development process negatively. From elementary school to college, in every periods of education, one of the most common problems in education is "inability of internalizing the knowledge" and "relating the theoretical knowledge with real life". The aim of this study is, to provide this relationship by a multidisciplinary research. For this purpose, architecture discipline and its educational approaches, methods and techniques are analysed. Architecture education includes varied methods for learning. But the main approach is established on "learning by project" method. This method was supported by Dewey's constructivist approach. Project based learning which has origin grounded on architecture, is started to be used in also primary education today. This paper explains the multidisciplinary interaction between architecture discipline and educational sciences and calls attention to the benefits of project based learning. (C) 2015 The Authors.
