The overall benefits to students who participate in PBL arethe students’ aspects of their experiences are being changed. As stated above, students are able to think more critically about the subjects are hand and learn through experience instead of just reading out of a text book. Students also learn to work together with other classmates, community members, experts, and many other people. Students are engaged more deeply in meaningful learning.
The benefits to students who participate in PBL are they getting hands on experiences like they would in real life situations such as problem solving when something doesn’t go the way it’s supposed to. Students develop good communication skills, inquiry skills, learn to be flexible with their working hours, develop a better understanding of how the world works, and students achieve the feelings that individuals can do something about changing the world we live in.
The issues that need to be considered in PBL approach is the need to prove that technology has an educational side when properly utilized. Some other issues are what are the learning goals, classroom management style, how to talk and engage with students, assessments, and how to communicate with parents and colleagues.
New Technology High is considered an example of New Technology Model because they are preparing students for their futures by having them learn to think critically, collaborate as part of a team, and use technology as a tool for problem solving.
Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI agree with many aspects of your writing based upon project-based learning. You listed many great benefits for the students who will participate in this learning method. Your "what to keep in mind" paragraph brought up many valid reasons to be thinking of. Good job!
I like the idea that now students will be making connections between what they are learning and their own world. This gets the students thinking more "critically about the subjects that are at hand and learn through experience instead of just reading out of a text book". Like you had stated above. Getting students to work more hands on and use new technology; this will help to get them ready for the real world and get them working in teams at a young age.
