The Project-Based Learning Method
Рет қаралды 65,455
Күн бұрынProject-Based Learning is a method that involves students in a long-term in-depth investigation of a real world challenge. Instead of raw memorization of facts or following instructions that present a smooth path to knowledge, students work on a problem that develops several skills simultaneously. By doing so, they are more likely to retain information, develop their creativity, communication and critical thinking. Plus - they learn how to learn!

As a teacher, I've seen the remarkable impact of PBL on my fourth-grade students. PBL harnesses their innate curiosity and enthusiasm for exploration. It's like giving them the keys to a world of knowledge, where they tackle real-life challenges, collaborate, and solve problems. Watching them work together, conduct research, and apply their learning to tangible projects is incredibly rewarding. It's more than academic growth; it's about nurturing their self-confidence and instilling a lifelong love for learning. PBL equips my fourth graders who are also English as a second language learners, with essential skills and a sense of achievement that sets them on a great path into middle school. Especially with the new digital aspects we can add to our projects.

This method works in the business world because there's an incentive of pay and career advancement. It doesn't work in high school because most students don't care about getting A's. Plus the project grade is shared, so the only student that actually cares about their grades does all the work.

This could be true of any class in school, IMO, and this applied technique has a better chance of engaging otherwise disinterested teenagers than a paper test. Beyond just trying to get every kid engaged, though, I think we should more conscientiously sort students by competency and engagement. And IMO, this will involve necessarily make a lot of school much more optional.
@MustafaO.Artisan Ай бұрын
Not all projects have to be group-based. In fact, you want your students to create their own solo projects to learn how to come up with ideas, plan for them, and execute them. Group projects are best for learning to cooperate and for students to bring their different abilities and skills together. When students are given the freedom to create personal projects within the subject, they tend to care more about them than non-personal ones. This tends to be a much better approach since not all students will care about getting an A grade; certain students do, but not all.

Damn you guys are right, in High School I made elaborate presentations and rehearsed a lot for my projects. Now that I've graduated, I am confident i can have a good discussion with a professional in regards to certain topics because of what I've retained from analysis, research and presentation. (I've even bantered with a Historian talking about Julius Caesar and tiny details about his battles, including terrain.) But when if I were to be asked if I remember topics learnt through sheer classwork, I wouldn't be able to name even 1. My favourite being among Greek History and Julius Caesar, I can recite their histories off by heart and enthusiastically. But even for topics I'm not interested in like other histories, finance, law etc. I can still talk about with a smile as long as I've done presentation projects for them, which my teacher made us do a lot which I'm thankful now because it makes me seem sophisticated and educated to other people lmao. Now I'm considering making presentations for fun, and uploading them for youtube just for the sake of learning new things and retaining them as easily as I did with presentations in high school.

Definitely a better path than sitting and listening, but it's not flawless. Kids of young age, namely before 5th grade, are hardly responsible about school projects, treating it as either free-time or claiming they don't have enough skills to give a significant contribution. They are still in development of their super-ego after all. Sit and listen is just more comfortable to every-day teach because all children are constantly on the same path and have a clear guideline to follow. Group projects are a peak of learning, but require extra motivation and efforts from both children and especially teacher, which is draining on a day to day basis.

Yes, chess requires quite a lot of theory too, because for a sport like chess it would become impractical to try to understand all the concepts that have developed in about 2000 or so years of this game being played by different generations... Not to say theory is the most important thing in chess, as Magnus himself once said, just play more games to get better.... Trying out different things also has its fair share in helping to learn chess as it tells what practically works and what doesn't

Learning through projects is the key to success. In society, people are often told exactly what to do, but not where to go. This is how dreams and opportunities fail, and people are left with resentment, only to pass it on to their kids. We are put through so much stress and pressure to fit in and be a picture perfect student based off of what the schools want. We learn common core, English, Science, history, Social studies, and other subjects without having a purpose for it other than copying and pasting answers. When we don’t know where to go, school just turns into clay scooping. There is no inner blueprint or framework that we have to follow in spite of being given the tools. We eventually become burned out, and we lose the enthusiasm to learn more. When we set a creative goal or big picture idea, it is more rewarding. It becomes muscle memory, and we actually want to learn more rather than just learning to get by and giving someone else what they want rather than what we want.

I love and agree with this so hard. The way I got into programming wasn't by finding a site to just show me how to code, but I had a goal in mind that required using programming. I learned SO MUCH from that experience and it unlocked a whole new level of learning from there on out, project after project. Excellent video!

This is my the maker movement is so popular, as is STEAM education programs. They all mix learning theory with hands on experience. It engages the mind and body, and as one additional thing I remember from primary school was never being able to sit still (still an problem), projects stop the fidget and restlessness I experienced in a traditional classroom environment.

Excellent video as always Sprouts! PBL also serves an important role in my field of workplace learning as adults often appreciate the greater emphasis on applying what their learning rather than merely absorbing information passively. For related topics to PBL, I encourage viewers to also look into self-determination theory, Malcolm Knowles' andragogy, and situated learning/communities of practice, as these concepts have been invaluable to my work. In fact, Sprouts has already made other fantastic videos exploring these very topics!

There was just a conference in New Hampshire some Co-workers of mine went to for professional development that covered this in depth, by having the teachers perform project based learning task themselves and using the experience to inform their teaching. As a teacher this is honestly my favorite method, but it is often hampered by time, class size, and online constraints. Of course we find ways around these things, I had a French Revolution themed "escape room" last year where students had to piece together clues to figure out the causes and consequences of the revolution, including a basked of decapitated ping pong balls, but it took a long time to design and implement. A central data base of such projects with clear lesson plans on how to adapt them to different classroom room environments I feel would go a long way to improving day to day instruction, especially for newer teachers.

I know project-based learning is my favorite approach personally, however I still think learning theory is always important. Sometimes, when working on a software, you can fail and never find the solution. While you can ask amenable fellows for help, you shouldn't expect any answer. A project-based environment that, when you fail, forces you to turn to theory, though, might be better suited for the retention of that knowledge, forcing you to analyze what it brought to the table, pros and cons?

It's sad that the amount of these decreases as the grade level goes up. Projects, field trips, science experiments, engaging demonstrations, opportunities for self-individual achievement*, free experimentation, class games, and group projects are all much better ways to learn anything than bucking up, shutting up, and trying not to fall asleep to someone showing you something that you may barely understand, and likely not need in your life moving forward. (Espically in higher grades. They need project based learning as much as the lower grades do.) *the opportunities students have to work twords on something they are passionate about, and potentially get an unexpected reward.

I'm a big fan of project-based learning, and it's a significant part of my course. However, I disagree with the paradigm in the video. The has to be some type of lecture content in order for students to understand the context of what they are doing / did. This is why use a flipped classroom model, in which the students watch my lectures in place of homework, and we spend class time doing hands-on activities.

This is very interesting video, exactly focus on pros indicating or giving about cons of both. However, the animations are too dynamic which sometimes distract the viewer from actual content. It is too much information and increase the cognitive workload which eventually makes it difficult to understand sometimes. An optimal animation....like removing the coloring or only having coloring pattern would help....anyways overall great video.

Project Based Learning (PBL) method is quite correct approach for active learning. However, there is an essential missing component. In addition to PBL, practical exposure to the real business world is equally vital. It is very important to blend theoretical education with practical education. After spending time around 18 years theoretical education, I find myself lacking practical abilities for the real business world. This experience feels like a significant waste of time.
