Findings
-focused on students not fully engaged
-Groups doing PBL called learning hubs
-Learning between curriculums, collaborative strategies and skills
- focus on knowledge, skills and attitudes to learing
-involved solving a real problem/challenge, use inquiry, collaborative, ongoing specific feedback to learning, involved commuity experts and public presentation
Learning Hubs Principles (PBL):
Real world problems- realted to interests and community
Core to learning- achievement objectives, specific learning to students
Structural Collaboration- Team carefully scaffolded
Student Driven- hints given but not answers- effective questioning
Multi-faceted- formative assessment along the way, self assessment
Also... learning hubs need to:
-specific skill focus on critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and teamwork
-learning if the explicit goal
-Students are learning how to learn
Indicators of PBL being succesful
-students can articulate their learning goal
-students could articulate success criteria
-work is planned/ mapped
-formative assessment along the way
-feedback is used to improve work quality
Other:
Group contract negotiated
rubrics written up as needed for learning (social and academic)
