  • PBL doesn't ask you to replace your content. It asks that you create a vehicle in which to communicate your content.

    ""PBL is the act of learning through identifying a real-world problem and developing its solution. Kids show what they learn as they journey through the unit, not just at the end.""

    "Perhaps that skills fits within a unit based on a topic or a theme, but each lesson works independently and can function without being embraced in a unit that connects them all in a learning story. " Personally I can resonate with this comment. I agree that most of the foreign language textbook are theme based, which put vocabulary and grammar within the given theme. But between different themes lack of coherence or connection. But using PBL might be an effective way to make an connection. I would like to share a own example of using PBL.The PBL is design a Travel Itinerary. Students impersonate travel agent to design a 2 days travel itinerary which includes 3 places to visit and 4 meals, provide price, compare different travel plans and persuade buyers to purchase their own travel plan. So in the PBL they are incorporate skills from different themes "Asking direction" "Travel" "Weather" "Shopping". It is also mentioned in the article that PBL "prepare the students for predicted the future", the PBL stays as authentic as possible. Also, as an ongoing assessment, the PBL can be used independently in each assessment and then at the end combined into a big assessments.

  • To understand the framework, it is important to be aware that no form of teaching per se is better than the others. When the teacher plans her teaching, she must choose which of the three forms she wants to practice, based on pedagogical reflections on educational philosophy, the overall purpose of education, the learning objectives and the teacher's and students' prerequisites.
  • In the polyphonic form, the objective is for students and teachers to gain mutual understanding and knowledge through dialogue and collaboration where both parties act as co-learners.
  • Communication within this form of teaching thus becomes polyphonic, and is initiated and controlled by both teacher and students.

  • Interactive learning triples students’ gains in knowledge as measured by the kinds of conceptual tests that had once deflated Mazur’s spirits, and by many other assessments as well. It has other salutary effects, like erasing the gender gap between male and female undergraduates.
  • For his part, Mazur has collected reams of data on his students’ results. (He says most scholars, even scientists, rely on anecdotal evidence instead.) End-of-semester course evaluations he dismisses as nothing more than “popularity contests” that ought to be abolished. “There is zero correlation between course evaluations and the amount learned,” he says. “Award-winning teachers with the highest evaluations can produce the same results as teachers who are getting fired.”
  • Active learners take new information and apply it, rather than merely taking note of it.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • From cognitive science, we hear that learning is a process of moving information from short-term to long-term memory; assessment research has proven that active learning does that best.”
  • Websites and laptops have been around for years now, but we haven’t fully thought through how to integrate them with teaching so as to conceive of courses differently.”
  • It starts from his view of education as a two-step process: information transfer, and then making sense of and assimilating that information. “
  • Taking active learning seriously means revamping the entire teaching/learning enterprise—even turning it inside out or upside down. For example, active learning overthrows the “transfer of information” model of instruction, which casts the student as a dry sponge who passively absorbs facts and ideas from a teacher.

    "But does scientific research really support the learning-styles hypothesis? In a new assessment of the available evidence, authors Harold Pashler, Mark McDaniel, Doug Rohrer, and Robert Bjork conclude that the learning-styles hypothesis has little, if any, empirical grounding. "

    "Student-centered classrooms include students in planning, implementation, and assessments. Involving the learners in these decisions will place more work on them, which can be a good thing. Teachers must become comfortable with changing their leadership style from directive to consultative -- from "Do as I say" to "Based on your needs, let's co-develop and implement a plan of action.""
