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).
