This study of elementary students from the University of Hong Kong found that
Inquiry project-based learning has positive effects on student reading abilities, and
Inquiry PBL also has positive effects on attitudes towards readings
This case study examined how members of a small group in a mainstreamed seventh grade science class interacted with and supported each other as they engaged in a problem-based learning (PBL) unit.
This study examines online technologies that can support project based learning (PBL) and how much use of these technologies relates to time spent on this approach to instruction, perceived preparedness and ability to overcome challenges.
Do teachers who have used PBL with extensive professional development teach and assess 21st century skills to a greater extent than teachers who have not had similar professional development or do not use PBL?
In 5th Grade we do an inquiry unit into garbage and we go to Dharavi and meet rag-pickers from and NGO called ACORN and by the end of it, the students wanted to get involved with recycling paper, separating non-biodegradable food, learning how to use waste to generate energy. It was the closest we came to a "project"-based learning.
That was because it related to their real lives at home and school and it was meaningful to them.
A handful of innovative high schools across the country are mixing technology and project-based learning to redesign their schools. Find out what they are learning and how it will affect your schools.
