Project-based learning [PBL]

“Standards-focused systematic teaching method that engages students in learning knowledge and skills through an extended inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks.”

The Buck Institute for Education (BIE - http://bie.org/)

Project-based learning [PBL]PBL…• …is a new approach to

teaching and learning and helps students to acquire the 21st Century skills.

• …engage students in investigation of real-world problems and challenges.

For this, students need…• …explore the real-world• …collaborate with peers• …develop a critical thinking• …purpose solutions and

make products.

• The technology, web 2.0 and eTwinning can support students and teachers when they work on PBL.

Step 2 - Hypothesis & Research information[Sustained inquiry - The project involves an active, in-depth process over time, in which students generate questions, find and use resources, ask further questions, and develop their own answers.]

10 MINUTES

Step 1 - Define the problem[Challenging problem - The project is based on a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge for students, which is operationalized by an open-ended, engaging driving question.]

Step 2 - Laboratory work / classroom[Authenticity]

20 MINUTES

Step 1 - Field work[Authenticity - The project has a real-world context, uses real-world processes, tools, and quality standards, makes a real impact, and/or is connected to students’ own concerns, interests, and identities.]

Step 2 – Reflection / Critique & Revision[The project provides opportunities for students to reflect on what and how they are learning, and on the project’s design and implementation. // The project includes processes for students to give and receive feedback on their work, in order to revise their ideas and products or conduct further inquiry.]

10 MINUTES

Step 1 – Students voice[The project allows students to make some choices about the products they create, how they work, and how they use their time, guided by the teacher and depending on their age and PBL experience.]

Conclusions

• Students learn to learn• Students learn by doing• Use TwinSpace to:

– Discuss & share– Publish the products– …

• The limit is… your creativity
