PREJECT BASE LEARNING

11.  PROJECT BASE LEARNING

      Project Based Learning is an instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom. Project Based Learning is synonymous with learning in depth. A well-designed project provokes students to encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of a discipline.

—  Combining these considerations, we define Project Based Learning as:

—  a systematic teaching method that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended.

Project Based Learning is generally done by groups of students working together toward a common goal. Performance is assessed on an individual basis, and takes into account the quality of the product produced, the depth of content understanding demonstrated, and the contributions made to the ongoing process of project realization .

v  Begin with the end in mind

                        Great project begin with planning for the end result. In this section, you will learn to conceive manageable project s with engaging themes and high standard.    

                        By beginning with the end in mind, you will improve  your ability to plan projects , as well  as communicate the purpose and context of project to your students.  Students who understand the meaning of what they are learning  retain more information , apply their knowledge more skillfully, and feel more motivated to achieve

           

            The Step Is :

                        a. Develop a Project Idea

                        b. Decide The Scope of  the Project

                        c. Select Standard

                        d. Incorporate Simultaneous Outcomes

                        e. Work from Project Design Criteria

                        f. create the  Optimal Learning Environment.

v  Craft the drivng question

In this section you will learn  how to  craft and refine  the driving question. A good driving question makes a project intriguing, complex, and problematic.

v  Plan the assessment

      Project base learning  reorients learners and teachers  away from traditional paper and pencil test and toward more “authentic” assessment practices. In addition to teaching  content, instructional goals associated  with PBL are tied to the use of knowledge  and skills as students go about  a problem- activity.

      In this section you will learn how to develop multiple products that give all students opportunities to demonstrate their learning and that form the basis for the balanced assessment  plan for the project.

§  Creating a Balanced Assessment Plan

§  Align Product with Outcomes

§  Know What to Assess

§  Use Rubrics

v   Map the project

A project map is similar to a lesson plan, but it reflex the extend nature  of project and the need to structure the project. A well- constructed  project map include more  than a sequence of activities ; it is a design  or supporting  and directing students as they create  products in the project.  A map help you  the  requisite  skills that your student need to perform , develop the timeline for the project , and gather resources to support critical  learning activities in the project.

      In this section show you how to be successful as a project planner.Key Steps:

                  a. Organize Tasks and Activities

                  b. Decide How to Launch the Project

                  c. Gather Resources

d. Draw a “Storyboard”         

v   Manage the pprocess

In this section guidelines for successful project management are accompanied by form by forms in the idea blank that provide specific aid for grouping and managing students.Key Steps

                                    a. Share project goals with students

                                    b. use problem-solving tools

                                    c. use checkpoints and milestones

d. plan for evaluation and reflection

v   Project based leaning

      Principles and purpose of Project Base Learning

  1.   Students charged with responsibility for education, students directed to be less dependent on teacher.

2.   Forming an independent student who can continue the learning process on the lives and careers that they would have.

3. Teachers act more as facilitators or tutors who guide students through the educational process

4. Challenged the students to further develop critical thinking   skills and be able to settle the issue effectively

5. The learning process is formed from the irregularity and complexity of the problem, it is used as an incentive for students to learn to integrate and organize the information

Summary: PBL is one of teaching method that used by a teacher to teach their student by put or engage them into one group to solve the problem together.In PBL not the result  of the student task  that can be a main focus of teacher, but the main focus is the process or the way the students working together to solve the task or problem.
