What Can Teachers and Students Teach Us About Project Based Learning? 

 

For starters, teachers can give you a broad analysis of Project Based Learning. I have done ample amount of research and found out that most teachers, before going into a lot of detail, give a general basis of Project Based Learning, which is helpful, seeing as though many people, including some educators, are not knowledgeable about the topic. Within this broad overview, teachers are able to provide us with information concerning activities dealing with PBL, how these activities benefit the students, how to incorporate PBL into the curriculum, and how to maximize the effectiveness we get with the use of Project Based Learning within the classroom. While teachers are very helpful when learning about Project Based Learning, the students can be just as, or even more helpful.

The students are a necessity when it comes to learning about PBL because they are our source of feedback. Without observation of the students doing Project Based learning hands on, we cannot gain any feedback, nor can we reflect on the activities. The students are very helpful in providing constructive feedback so that we as teachers, can tweak the activities to provide maximum benefit to the students. 

Now to the main question: What Can Teachers and Students Teach Us About Project Based Learning ? So far, after doing my own research, along with viewing some of the provided information and video's, I have learned about: 

  • What PBL is. 
  • How to use PBL in the classroom with maximum benefit to students. 
  • 7 Essentials for Project Based Learning
