In the project Målsatt financed by The European Social Fund (ESF) we have focused on making the process of study more efficient for our students. The aim is to speed up the flow of students through their studies by providing them efficient counseling. This can be done by checking the students study progress twice a year and by introducing them to the method of project based learning in authentic learning projects, in cooperation with the companies and organizations in Raseborg. In Målsatt we have proceeded in the developing of an efficient process of study by using a method of process. In other words we have planned, implemented and assessed particular procedures, methods and tools developed in the project during the project process. Counseling as phenomenon seemed to be essential in the process of study. An investment in counseling in project based learning appeared to be an important aspect in stimulating the individual student`s process of study and learning.
