This study examines the integration of extended reality (XR) technology into project-based learning (PJBL) to develop an innovative and effective teaching model for the landscape architecture students.Through augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tools, extended reality (XR) technology is applied to all stages of project-based learning (PJBL) to help students analyze design problems, build virtual models, and conduct immersive Explore and show. Five experts in the related fields and 30 students were invited to evaluate this study to assess the feasibility of the proposed PJBL-XR model. They assessed the model using a structured questionnaire and processed the data through mean, standard deviation, and thematic analysis. The results of the experts’ assessment were Mean = 4.5 - 5.0 (SD = 0.00-0.71), whereas student assessment results were Mean = 4.2-4.9 (SD = 0.32-0.71). Then, the thematic analysis results revealed that PJBL-XR learning activity is highly beneficial for engaging students, promoting active learning, and fostering creativity. The results showed that students had a positive attitude towards the course design and the developed model, which showed that integrating XR technology into PJBL could create a rational and effective teaching model for landscape architecture students. Enhancement on several aspects of the learning activity is needed for a better implementation, particularly in ensuring personalized learning experiences and maintaining a strong focus on educational outcomes.
