    Study Notes

    Basic Conceptions of Project-Based Learning

    • Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method where students actively acquire knowledge and skills through real-world, meaningful projects.
    • PBL aims to address authentic questions, problems, or challenges.
    • John Dewey advocated connecting school with life, making classrooms more like residences where students learn through experience.

    Theoretical Framework: Historical Background of Project-Based Learning (PBL)

    • Dewey (1904) believed that schools should be places where children live and learn through life experiences.

    What is Project-Based Learning (PjBL)?

    • PjBL is a teaching method where students gain knowledge and skills through real-world and personally meaningful projects focused on solving complex problems or answering compelling questions.
    • PBL promotes deeper understanding and better retention of knowledge because students apply their knowledge to new situations.

    Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Education

    • Project-Based Learning is a crucial instructional strategy for 21st-century education, enabling students to learn meaningful content and practice needed skills.

    Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Foreign Language Education

    • Language projects offer a valuable way to enhance foreign language learning through interaction and communication in authentic contexts.
    • Project-Based Language Learning helps students define, assess, and achieve content and language learning goals, improving their learning strategies.

    The Distinguishing Features between Project-Based Learning and Traditional Projects

    • Traditional Projects (Mayer, 2012)*

    • Teacher-directed lectures

    • Partially inquiry-based activities

    • Teacher-based quizzes and assessments

    • Teacher-evaluated exams

    • Project-Based Learning Projects (Curtis, 2013; NewTechNetwork, 2015; BIE, 2019)*

    • Project launches (entry events and rubrics)

    • Activities, workshops, lectures

    • Homework, research, labs

    • Benchmarks

    • Simulations, discussions, modeling

    • Reading, interviews, quizzes

    • Benchmarks

    • Creation, feedback, building, writing

    • Drafts

    • Public presentations

    • Reflection and revision

    What are Benchmarks in PBL?

    • Benchmarks are the sub-tasks or building blocks for completing a project within a PBL unit.
    • They are assessed milestones within the project.
    • These allow students to provide deliverables and allow formative assessments.

    Project-Based Learning (PBL) vs. Projects

    • Traditional units often culminate in a final project where PBL projects are regularly assessed. PBL is not focused on a single project but integrates scaffolding, learning, benchmarks and reflection throughout the unit.

    Project-Based Teaching Practice

    • Project-based teaching practices evolve from beginning, to developing, to gold-standard projects.
    • Gold-standard projects involve clear goals, challenges, alignment, significant content, and authenticity. Students express their opinions, receive critique and revise throughout.

    Gold-Standard PBL/ High-Quality PBL

    • Key student learning goals, coaching, assessment, design, problem-solving, project features, alignment, significance of content, and authenticity are key.

    What Theories is Project-Based Learning Based On?

    • PBL is fundamentally based on constructivist, social constructivist, experiential, and inquiry-based learning theories.
    • Learning is an active process where learners construct, not absorb their knowledge from their experiences and interactions with the world.

    Constructivism

    • Learners construct their own knowledge through interactions and observation of their surroundings.

    Vygotsky's Contribution

    • Learning occurs through social interactions and environmental factors.
    • A community profoundly influences individuals' construction of knowledge.

    PBL in Kazakhstan

    • This is an analysis of how PBL is implemented, recognized and practiced in Kazakhstani education, looking at existing literature.
    • Understanding the level of awareness among authors and researchers.
    • The adherence of Kazakhstan PBL practices to recognized international best practices (gold standard PBL).
