Study Notes
Basic Conceptions of Project-Based Learning
- Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching approach where students actively acquire knowledge and skills through meaningful projects, tackling real-world and personally relevant questions or challenges.
- John Dewey advocated for schools to connect with life experiences, making schools a place where children truly live, rather than just a place for tasks and classroom work.
Theoretical Framework of Project-Based Learning (PBL)
- PBL is grounded in various educational theories, emphasizing active, experiential, and social learning.
- Key theories underpinning PBL include: Constructivism (Piaget, Bruner), Social Constructivism (Vygotsky), Experiential Learning Theory (Kolb), and Inquiry-Based Learning (Dewey).
What is Project-Based Learning (PjBL)?
- It's an instructional strategy where students actively build knowledge and develop skills by engaging in real-world projects responding to complex questions and problems.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Education
- Project-Based Learning is crucial for 21st-century education, centering instruction on practical and meaningful project work to equip students with necessary content understanding and skills.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Foreign Language Education
- Organizing language projects allows foreign language learners to enhance their abilities through authentic interaction and communication contexts.
- Project-Based Language Learning helps students set and evaluate their own language and content learning goals, along with other essential skills and learning strategies.
Distinguishing Features between Project-Based Learning and Traditional Projects
- Traditional projects are typically teacher-directed, with teacher-evaluated assessments, and a single project at the end.
- PBL projects are designed with a project launch, rubric, steps, activities, and benchmarks, with ongoing simulations, research, and labs. These projects frequently involve public presentations and reflection/revision.
What are Benchmarks in PBL?
- Benchmarks are sub-tasks or building blocks that students or groups complete and assess to produce the final product in a PBL Unit. They are assessed to provide formative feedback and learning.
Project-Based Learning Vs. Projects
- Traditional projects typically function as a culminating activity and have limited embedded assessments.
- PBL utilizes benchmarks, scaffolding, and continuous assessment through a project launch, activities, and presentations.
Project-Based Teaching
- Project-Based Teaching practice ranges from novice to advanced levels, emphasizing different aspects of design, planning, culture building, and effective scaffolding.
Gold-Standard PBL / High-Quality PBL
- Key characteristics of high-quality PBL include design based on challenging problems, significant content, authentic learning experiences, student voice and choice, reflection, critique, and revision, and project-based teaching practices.
What theories is PjBL based on?
- Project-Based Learning is rooted in several educational theories highlighting active, social, and experiential learning:
- Constructivism
- Social Constructivism
- Experiential Learning Theory
- Inquiry-Based Learning
Constructivism
- Students actively build their knowledge and understanding through experimentation and experiences, forming personal interpretations of the world.
PBL in Kazakhstan
- Researchers in Kazakhstan are exploring the implementation and effectiveness of PBL in educational settings. There is interest in standardizing PBL practices in Kazakhstan.
