Study Notes
Problem-based Approach
- Begins with a problem that determines what students study
- After analyzing the open-ended, authentic question, students identify what they need to learn and create a plan to solve the problem
- For the Problem-based Approach to work effectively, clear learning objectives and outcomes must be set
- The teacher plays the role of a facilitator or coach, guiding and supporting students as needed
Project-based Approach
- Begins with the assignment of tasks that will lead to the creation of a final product or artifact
- Main focus is on students creating a product or artifact that demonstrates their learning
- GRASPS stands for Goal, Role, Audience, Situation, Product, Standards, and Skeletal, which are the elements for formulating an authentic performance task
Comparison of PBL and PrBL
- Neither PBL nor PrBL involves Traditional Learning
- Important reminder for implementing Project-based Learning: students need time to explore and create
- Common feature of both Problem-based Learning (PBL) and Project-based Learning (PrBL): students have autonomy and take ownership of their learning
