PBL-Project Based Learning by Renato Oliveira https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63 Projet Based Learning Diary en-us 2016-06-10 22:00:38 UTC 2026-01-30 15:12:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/aws/111376094/75e25a5c67c076453e907ce1e309bbd82dd70cac/9a5d20c20be48c01deedaadb14aaf5a2.jpg Who am I ? renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114365276 I am a chemistry and physics teacher from Portugal.

I like teaching and I try to learn new teaching approaches to achieve the best possible results with my students.

My areas of interest are astronomy, cinema, cuisine and travel and play football with friends.
I hope to learn something new from this course.]]> 2016-06-10 22:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114365276 My school renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114365644 I am a teacher in a school from north of Portugal, in the city of Povoa de Varzim, near the sea.
My school called EB 2.3 Cego do Maio and the students who attend it have economic and social problems. The school has about 800 students and has all the physical and human conditions for teaching. The school has internet and some computers. But not all my students have computer or internet at home. 
Personally I am not very experienced in ICT, but I'm trying to do my best.

The following scheme translates the points that I think are positive in PBL pedagogy]]> 2016-06-12 17:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114418092 M1- 1.3- P2P: Reflections on our current teaching practice                                                       Reflection about my teaching strategies    renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114419134 I teach science (chemistry and physics) and my classes always start with synthesis of the previous class. Then throw a question by projecting an image, a vídeo, an experimental demonstration, news or commenting that some curious! From here it is stimulated always a perspective of constant questioning. They are very dynamic classes where they throw themselves questions about the subjects to teach. There is a debate. Then there is a moment where the class is consolidated the concept that we want to teach. Another important point is to solve exercises where they can apply what they have learned. Also, every week, we have a laboratory class where they themselves do experiences.
I think I have the profile to apply the PBL pedagogy. I think, from what I saw in the videos, there are parts that I making such as the stimulus to seek new ideas and to be creative in argument. I value critical thinking. For example, in experimental work is not always get the expected result and it does not mean that the experience was wrong. At this stage I look for them to be critical of those results. There is always a way of explaining what happens. But I know this is not the PBL pedagogy. My great fear to apply the PBL is the TIME. I think the PBL takes time to the teacher and students get to realize the dynamics of teaching and at the same time we have a curriculum to meet. And politicians do not want to know the path that runs ... just want to get to the end.
Maybe I can try to apply the PBL with my 7th graders (13/14 years) using Physics (astronomy) as a subject!]]> 2016-06-12 17:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114419134 M1- 1.4- Components of good PBL<div></div> renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114663191 For me the challing key to realize PBL is the multifacet assessment because in Portugal we have a very rigid curriculum and requires a periodic standart evalutions. So I don´t know how I can do the link with the assessment of PBL. And yes...I`m worried...]]> 2016-06-14 23:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114663191 M1- 1.6 -Your PBL Design: Formulating your driving question renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114665191 Subjet: Physics (astronomy) and Chemistry sciences.
Context: 7th grade students (13/14 years old). My studensts are from a fishing city and we have tradition on sardine canning industry. So the scenario is imagine a trip to Mars to take a load of sardine tins for the human colony...
Question: How to land safely a load of sardine tin cans on planet Mars?
Objectives: Design a cargo landing 3D model.  Work collaboratively.  Demonstrate, experimentaly, the operation of the landing model with one sardine canning tin.
Learning goals: Apply knowledge from different disciplines.      Use ICT Skills.          Apply critical thinking in te project development.]]> 2016-06-15 00:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114665191 M2- Collaboration renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114710871 when I see this picture I "see" collaboration... ]]> 2016-06-15 10:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114710871 M2- 2.2- What is effective collaboration? renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114813608 In the four survey responses my answer was "NO". What does not surprise me because most of the time I do not use the collaborative work as it is understood in this PBL course. This only confirms my willingness to take this course in order to know and learn the PBL methodology. At the end we will see if I can apply in my classes! I hope so...]]> 2016-06-16 10:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/114813608 M2- 2.6 renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115261949

Have to swap sides of the blanket, ie, the next step they must face to the ground and what is the ground side must be face up. But they have to do this task always with his feet up on the blanket, that is, can never put a foot landed out of the blanket. This requires collaboration and estartégia.

To combat this problem I decided to change and adapt the curriculum of my discipline to these students. Initially I did not have the support of colleagues because they said it was a very demanding job and and it was not worth it. But I decided to continue and apply was defined as being better for the students. It was a hard and difficult road, but in the end it was worth it. The students recognized that they had learned and enjoyed working.
Despite having gone well, it was not worth the work that had, by the time I stole my family, and colleagues who do not change and did what they usually do, they earn the same as me and have the same job. Sometimes I question myself if it is worth all this effort by the students ... and I get always the same conlusion: worth it because these are small successes that give me the strength to continue to be a teacher with joy...]]> 2016-06-26 15:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115453479 M3- 3.2 Developing Student Resilience renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115454610 Here are some ways we may weaken our student's confidence and independence:
- always point their mistakes and downplay their successes
- blame them
- yell at them
- not turn on when need attention
- not to notice when they are sad
- not give a second chance
- give attention always the same students
To support students to become confident and independent learners cornichons:
- scaffolded learning
- respect learning time differences
- to be kind
- hear them
- appreciate your efforts
- make believe they are able to fulfill the tasks proposed
- give confidence]]> 2016-06-26 16:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115454610 M3- 3.3-An entrepreneurial mind-set renat https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115455934 https://www.thinglink.com/scene/793873584106766337

I don´t have the habit to use the peer assessement in my classroom systematically.  Why? I never thought much about it, that is, already thought but always thought it would be a waste of time. 
But after seeing the videos, I changed my mind and I will use in my classes.]]> 2016-07-02 17:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/renat/3ydkgg4ncp63/wish/115843091
