- 19. Problem-based Learning Whatis PBL? A learning strategy characterized by self-directed active learning starting with an “ill-structured problem” before any instruction Learners probe deeply into issues searching for connections, grappling with complexity and using knowledge to fashion solutions An excellent instructional method that can cultivate students’ critical thinking , develop their abilities to analyze and solve problems

- 22. Why PBL? Asksstudents to demonstrate understanding, not to just gather and rewrite information Builds critical thinking and reasoning skills Promotes student creativity and independence Allows students to manage their own activities Can change bored students into engaged students http://www.edutopia.org/project-learning-introduction-video

- 24. PBL in K-12Solve a complex question or problem through a collaborative process of investigation Learn content, information, and facts necessary to draw conclusions about the question Learn valuable skills and habits of mind Are evaluated on their ability to reason and apply knowledge as they work on a problem http://www.edutopia.org/project-based-learning-overview
- 25. K-12 con’t Studentswork in flexible groups to solve challenging problems that are authentic, curriculum-based, and often interdisciplinary Students create knowledge and understanding through learning activities built around intellectual inquiry and a high degree of engagement* with meaningful tasks Projects take the role traditionally given to tests and quizzes

- #20 . Ill-structured problems, on the other hand, are messy like the problems that are faced in everyday life and in professional practice Students may need to draw from multiple disciplines
- #21 Teacher has already taught the material that will be covered on the test It’s all about the teacher
- #22 Students learn the material as they need it working through the problem It’s all about the student
- #24 Research shows that the most successful middle school teaching model uses these strategies which also happen to be strategies employed in PBL
- #25 PROJECT BASES LEARNING and PROBLEM based learning are similar, and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Both are based on a method inquiry into an authentic problem or question. Problem based learning is a term more commonly used in colleges and universities, while Project Based Learning is a term used in K -12 education in the United States. Outside the United States, problem based learning or ‘project work’ is the more common term for PBL. Project learning is often initiated with a Driving Questions whereas Problem-based learning begins with a problem, not just a question Seymour Papert is an MIT mathematician, computer scientist, and educator. He is one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, as well as an inventor of the Logo programming language.
