Basic Concepts of Project-Based Learning
- Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method that encourages active learning, through real-world projects focusing on a problem or challenge.
- PBL connects school to real life, making school a place where children learn through experience.
- PBL leads to a deeper understanding and better retention of knowledge.
- Students can develop their learning abilities in a target language, by interacting and communicating through projects.
- Students can set their own learning goals, encompassing content learning and related skills.
Theoretical Framework: Historical Background of Project-Based Learning
- John Dewey advocated for connecting school and life experience for children, viewing school as a place of real-life learning, not simply a classroom where tasks are given.
What is Project-Based Learning (PjBL)?
- PjBL is a teaching method enabling active learning of knowledge and skills through real-world, personally meaningful projects.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Education
- PBL is a vital instructional strategy for 21st-century education, crucial to achieve educational goals.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Foreign Language Education
- Language projects give opportunities for developing language skills by interacting and communicating in real-life contexts.
- PBL allows students to define and evaluate their language learning goals alongside content and other skill goals.
Distinguishing Features between Project-Based Learning and Traditional Projects
- Traditional Projects: Teacher-led, with activities that are mostly a partially inquiry process and teacher-led assessments, use lectures and quizzes, and project submitted to teacher, with an exam.
- PBL Projects: Projects are launched with an entry event, rubric, and need-to-know steps, have a mix of activities with benchmarks, and have public presentations and reflection/revision.
What are Benchmarks in PBL?
- Benchmarks in PBL are the sub-tasks/building blocks needed to create the final product.
- They are assessed portions that support learners in completing the project.
Project-Based Learning vs. Projects
- Traditional units typically culminate in a project, while PjBL integrate projects into the whole learning unit.
- PjBL scaffolds the project with activities, benchmarks, and learning steps, moving towards an outward-facing project and presentation.
Project-Based Teaching Practice
- Project-Based Teaching practice ranges from beginning stage PBL to gold standard PBL.
- Essential aspects of the learning design and facilitation are developed and improved as the teacher's knowledge and competence grows.
Gold-Standard PBL/High-quality PBL
- Key features of high-quality PBL include: challenging problems or questions, significant content, authenticity, key college/career competencies, student voice & choice, critique and revision, public product.
- Coaches or mentors support teachers in developing PBL.
What Theories is PjBL Based On?
- PjBL draws from constructivism, social constructivism, experiential learning theory, and inquiry-based learning.
Constructivism
- Students build their own understanding through experiments and experiences.
Inquiry-Based Learning
- Students construct understanding based on a “need to know”.
Vygotsky's Contribution
- Learning happens through social interactions, with the community playing a key role.
PBL in Kazakhstan
- Research is needed to understand the implementation and efficacy of PBL in Kazakhstani education.
