Study Notes
Basic Conceptions of Project-Based Learning
- Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method where students actively learn through real-world, meaningful projects, investigating and responding to complex questions or challenges.
- PBL connects school and life, making learning a lived experience for students.
- A key figure in the historical background of PBL is Dewey, who advocated that school be a child's residence, enabling them to learn directly through life.
Theoretical Framework - Historical Background of PBL
- John Dewey believed that schools should connect with students’ lives, making them places where students learn directly from their experiences, instead of a classroom where students are given tasks.
What is Project-Based Learning (PjBL)?
- PjBL is a teaching method where students gain knowledge and skills through real-world projects.
- Projects tackle authentic, complex problems or questions.
- PBL leads to a deeper understanding and better retention of information.
- Students improve their ability to apply learned knowledge to new situations.
- Key figures, mentioned in various sources, include Dewey, Thomas, Polat, Boss, Yakovleva, Larmer, Lenz, Rahmawati, Murtazina and the BIE.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Education
- PBL is an instructional strategy crucial for 21st-century education, enabling students to master 21st-century skills and content.
- PBL is essential to achieving 21st-century educational goals.
Project-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in Foreign Language Education
- Language projects provide opportunities for foreign language learners to enhance their communication abilities in authentic contexts.
- PBL allows students to set and evaluate their own learning goals, focusing on content and related skills.
Distinguishing Features between Project-Based Learning and Traditional Projects
- Traditional projects often have teacher-led activities, teacher-based assessments, and teacher-evaluated exams, with projects submitted to the teacher.
- PBL projects involve project launches, rubrics, creating a need-to-know list of steps, activities, workshops, lectures, homework, research, labs, benchmarks, simulations, and formative assessments.
- PBL involves public presentations, reflection, and revision.
What are Benchmarks in PBL?
- Benchmarks in PBL are the sub-tasks or building blocks required to complete a project.
- These pieces of a project are individually assessed and break down the final project into digestible chunks for students.
Project-Based Learning vs. Project (Graphic)
- This graphic visualizes the differences between a traditional unit with a culminating project and a PBL unit.
- PBL units have a "launch" that involves an entry event, a rubric, and "know/need to know" lists.
- Activities, workshops, lectures, research, labs, and homework are important parts of the PBL process.
- There are benchmarks, which represent stages of assessed learning, in the PBL cycle, followed by public presentations and reflections.
Project-Based Teaching Practices
- Project-Based Teaching Practice has three levels; Beginning, Developing and Gold-Standard PBL.
- Different phases of PBL practice include Design, Align, Assess and Manage.
- Key factors, such as student learning goals, coaching, reflection, content, authenticity, and choice, are detailed at each step.
What Theories is PjBL Based On?
- PjBL is based on various educational theories emphasizing active, experiential and social learning procedures.
- Key theories include Constructivism, Social Constructivism, Experiential Learning Theory, and Inquiry-Based Learning.
Constructivism
- Students construct their own understanding of the world through experimentation and experience.
- Inquiry-based and Project-Based Learning are both extensions of constructivism, building knowledge based on a need to know.
Vygotsky's Contribution
- Learning occurs through social interaction and environment.
- Community plays a central role in the meaning-making process.
PBL in Kazakhstan
- The study examines the current state of PBL implementation and awareness of these methodologies in Kazakhstani education.
- The research analyzes compliance with gold standard PBL principles.
