Project-based learning (PBL) challenges students to solve real-world problems and become self-directed learners through cooperative group work. It is based on constructivism and engages learners by having them select, plan, implement and evaluate purposeful activities. PBL recreates real-world complexity and promotes collaborative learning and skills like teamwork. It is well-suited for adult learners who bring experience and have competing interests, and supports self-directed, goal-oriented and relevant learning. However, students may lack experience with group work, inquiry skills, and receiving feedback, which teachers can help address.

Skilbeck’s curriculum model develop in 1976.
Skill beck suggested an approach for devising curriculum at the school level by which teacher could realistically develop appropriate curriculum. The model claims that for SBCD (School Based Curriculum Development) to work effectively five steps are required in the curriculum process.
Skilbeck model locates curriculum design and development firmly within a cultural framework. It views such design as a means whereby teachers modify and transform pupil experience through providing insights into cultural values, interpretative frameworks and symbolic systems.
It is a more comprehensive framework, which can encompass either the process model or the objective model depending on which aspects of the curriculum are being designed. It is flexible, adaptable and open to interpretation in the light of changing circumstances.
It does not presuppose a linear progression through its components. Teachers can begin at any stage and activities can develop concurrently. .
The model outlined does not presuppose a means-end analysis at all; it simple encourages teams or groups of curriculum developers to take into account different elements and aspects of the curriculum- development process, to see the process as an organic whole, and to work in a moderately systematic way.

Collaborative learning activity involves learners working together in order to complete a task. Collaboration increases the opportunities a student has to use the target language, and thereby develop their skills in it. Employ teaching and learning strategies and collaborative activities in your classroom and be an innovative teacher.

Project-Based Learning is a candidate approach as teaching sequences for scientific competence that is being promoted through STEM education. Several didactic components are of interest in the didactic architecture of these sequences: Context, Conflict, Discourse, Content, Openness and Interdisciplinary. We have developed a rubric to assess these components in 87 PBL STEM sequences designed by secondary education teachers. We have identified 4 main profiles in the proposed sequences and discuss its implications on the development of scientific competence through PBL STEM sequences.

The Value of Leadership, the Leadership of Value: Remaining Relevant in times...Peter Bromberg
Script and supporting materials at: http://peterbromberg.com/sla
Throw out those 5 year strategic plans, change ain't what it used to be. Change no longer happens in slow, predictable, macro waves that allow us the time to make and execute big plans. Change now happens in a continual series of microbursts, each one potentially changing our experiences, behaviors, perceptions, and expectations in unexpected but potentially powerful ways.
A new type of leadership is called for. A leadership that not only provides a map for change, but also empowers people in your organization to throw away the map and respond to clients' needs in the moment. A leadership that questions best practices, holding only lightly to the ways of the past. A leadership that monitors societal trends and embraces small innovations and good ideas no matter where they come from.
Features of Project-based learning; 1. Student-centered 2. Interdisciplinary ...Future Education Magazine
PBL stands for project-based learning, which is a student-centered pedagogy that incorporates an active classroom approach. The idea behind this method of teaching is that students would gain a more in-depth knowledge via the active investigation of real-world issues and obstacles.
In Recent approach toward implementation of NEP2020 , Teachers are required to improve their skill sets. Collaborative Learning is suggested approach which will lead the Teachers with the understanding and implementing the Teaching -learning pedagogy.
Project based learning approach a real expereinceRajeev Ranjan
“Project Based Learning; a Real Learning Experience” ” is an integrated learning approach. A project is meaningful if it fulfils two criteria. First, students must perceive it as personally meaningful, as a task that matters and that they want to do well. Second, a meaningful project fulfils an educational purpose. Well-designed and well-implemented PBL------------ -----------------
1. What are the best uses
for project-based
learning in higher
education?
By:
Abby
Anna
Liz
Tanisha
2. Problem-Based Learning
O Problem-based learning (PBL) is an
educational approach that challenges
students to "learn to learn.”
O Students work cooperatively in groups to
seek solutions to real-world problems and
more importantly, to develop skills to
become self-directed learners.
3. Project-Based Learning
O Based on constructivist theory
O Purposing
O Planning
O Executing
O Judging
O MAIN GOAL: Engage your learners
4. Quote
O Kilpatrick stated, “engaging learners in
purposeful activities that they help to
select, plan, implement, and evaluate
facilitates learners’ learning and helps
them solve problems and acquire the
skills and judgment necessary to function
as adults in a democratic society”
(Foshay, 1999).
5. Project-Based Learning
O Has to be used to rebuild real-world
complexity
O Collaborative learning promotes the
exchange and reflection on different
views.
O Uses:
O Team work skills,
O alternative perspectives on a problem
O central skill for performing tasks
6. Adult Learners
O Adult education is defined as “participation
in systematic learning activities for the
purpose of acquiring new knowledge or
skills or changing attitudes or values, by
persons who have assumed adult social
roles” (Lyman, 1999, p. 102).
7. Common Characteristics
• They are in a continuing process of
growth, not at the start of a process.
• They bring with them a package of
experience and values.
• They come to education with intentions.
• They bring expectations about the learning
process.
• They have competing interests.
• They already have their own set of
patterns of learning (p. 24).
8. Self-Directed
O Student takes charge of own
learning, with minimal help from the
instructor.
O Using: Computer based learning.
9. Goal-Oriented
O Student come into the learning experience
knowing the goal they want to achieve.
O Teacher has set up class so students can
reach their goal.
10. Relevancy-Oriented
O Learning has to be applicable to the
student’s work or other responsibilities to
be of value to them.
O Instructor then identifies objectives for
adult participants before the course
begins.
12. Cont.
O “Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for
categorizing level of abstraction of questions
that commonly occur in educational settings.
The taxonomy provides a useful structure in
which to categorize test questions, since
professors will characteristically ask questions
within particular levels, and if you can
determine the levels of questions that will
appear on your exams, you will be able to
study using appropriate strategies.”
13. LEARNING TO LEARN
O COOPERATIVE LEARNING SKILLS
O INQUIRY SKILLS
O REFLECTION SKILLS
O ASSESSMENT
O CONCLUSION
14. Some challenges for PBL
classrooms
O Limited experience in group work
management
O Lack of familiarity with inquiry learning
O Inadequate feedback on learning and
assessment
15. Limited experience in group work
management
O Group work is integral to PBL and students
need to learn how to make optimal use of their
time and resources while working in groups.
Functioning effectively in groups involves
knowing how to organize the work, distribute
responsibility, break up complex tasks, and
provide useful feedback on work that is done.
Teachers can contribute by helping students
better understand the merits of group work.
16. Lack of familiarity with inquiry
learning
O When faced with problem tasks, students often find it
difficult to identify the critical issues and to generate
coherent research designs. They are often unclear
about how they can relate what they are currently
reading to what they already know. They are also
unfamiliar with different stages of the inquiry
process, such as generating hypotheses, providing
logical arguments, and transforming data into a
product. When students have an appropriate learning
context and the need to seek the necessary
information, they also see how things finally "come
together". This is an aspect of critical reading that
can be promoted within the framework of problem-
based learning.
17. Inadequate feedback on learning
and assessment
O Giving feedback to students is integral to
improving student learning. Barron et al.
(1998) suggest that teachers can better guide
and monitor projects by incorporating
formative self-reflections by students, by
creating a classroom culture that supports
frequent feedback and assessment, and by
finding ways for students to compare their
work with others. Teachers can make students
take their work seriously by incorporating
opportunities that involve external audiences
in assessing students' performance.
