PROJECT WORK: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT
Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with their learning in more concrete ways. Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic. You can use projects as part of the ongoing learning process or as a capstone assessment in place of a traditional final exam.
Project-based assessment is often a component of project-based learning (PBL), in which the entire focus of a course or unit is to teach via student engagement in problem-solving and exploration. Like PBL, project-based assessment is student-centered and requires reflection on both the process and the content to be meaningful.

Curriculum development is a complex and highly specialized field which requires technical competence, the ability to comprehend curricular problems and an understanding of development in different countries of the world.

John Dewey’s “Educational Progressivism”
Objectives:
Who was John Dewey?
What does Educational Progressivism means?
What is the purpose of education?
John Dewey
(0ctober 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952)
American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer
Founder of philosophical school of Pragmatism
Father of Functional Psychology
Educational Progressivism
Educational Progressivism
The main principle of educational progressivism is that humans are social animals who learn best in real-time activities.
Instructors should focus on providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to survive and to succeed in our competitive society.
Strong emphasis on problem-based learning to develop problem solving and analysis skills (For example, instructor posing questions the exercise students’ minds in a practical manner)
The purpose of education is to enhance individual effectiveness in society and give learners’ practical knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Based on John Dewey's model of learning instructors should:
Become aware of the goal,
Define the objectives,
Propose hypotheses to achieve the goal,
Evaluate the consequences of the hypotheses from one's past experience, and
Test the most likely solution

3. According to John Dewey:
The curriculum in the schools should reflect that of
society.
The center of the school curriculum should reflect
the development of humans in society.
The study of the core subjects
(language, science, history) should be coupled with
the study of cooking, sewing and manual training.
“progress is not in the succession of studies but in
the development of new attitudes towards, and new
interests in, experience”
4. Teach Practical subjects along with the core
subjects.
Ex) In Science class have them build a bridge to test
stability.
Book smarts and Street smarts.
Students need both to be well rounded individuals.
5. Can Learn how to do the everyday “practical”
things they need to know as adults.
Good examples of current practical classes are:
Shop – (cars)
Cooking
Drivers Ed.
Computer Science
Etc
6. Progressive Education:
In my opinion, this theory is already used much in
our education today, but could be applied more to
our core classes.
As a history teacher in the future I could:
Ex) Go over types of foods in a culture you are
studying and ask them to cook and bring in something
from their culture.
Ex) Cultures create their own unique patterns in
clothing, students could draw their own patterns to
represent themselves.
