What do YOU do most of the time in the classroom? What do the students do most of the time? Do you feel your current approach could be easily complemented with a PBL approach? Do you sometimes have the problem that students don't remember what they "learned" the day before? How do you address this? Do you already use some of the PBL approaches mentioned in the video? What works, doesn't work? Why? How do you find out about your student needs and how do you incorporate this knowledge in your teaching? Finish your reflection by identifying a class and a subject topic that you teach which you can use to experiment with PBL.

I'm a math teacher and I teach students aged 10 – 15. 
 In my classroom i try to engage every child. First task is to motivate children with an example from everyday life or puzzle, game, pictures… We talk, discuss and discover mathematical concepts. I try to bring focus on children and my role is to guide them while they discover new information.

In my classroom I have a computer and a lcd projector, children do not have their devices but sometimes I make online quizzes which can be played on smartphones.

Most of the time they are practising and calculating individualy, but there are also some lessons where they can work in pairs or groups. This is why I think that my students will easily accept PBL.

Next year I'll be teaching three 8th grade classes and i think PBL will be well incorporated in lessons about Phytagorean theorem.

 I think PBL as a method of learning is very efficient. My only concern is assessment of student’s work.

 Driving question:
Which everyday events and calculations wouldn't be possible if Pythagora hadn't discovered his theorem?My goal is to intrigue students to discover about usage of Pythagorean theorem in modern world (TV sizes, triangulation, shortest disctances between objects, heights...). ]]> 2016-06-08 18:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/prof_radanovic/pbl/wish/114125119 prof_radanovic https://padlet.com/prof_radanovic/pbl/wish/114567192 COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING,

WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS

In this module the learning objectives are therefore:

  1. Understand how different types of collaboration can be used in the context of PBL
  2. Develop a series of strategies and activities to promote effective collaboration between students
  3. Develop a series of strategies and activities to promote effective collaboration with actors outside of the classroom

IT'S JUST THAT I STAY WITH PROBLEMS LONGER

In other words, we try to develop a student-driven environment in which the energy and persistence of what is happening in the classroom does not primarily come from us but from the students. 

Albert Einstein's quote above captures one of the key essences of this module: getting students' to develop grit and resilience to stay with a problem or project even though they have failed previously is one the most difficult parts of PBL and at the core of developing a student-driven environment. As an example and at a quite simple level, when students work for the first time in a group as part of PBL, the first attempts at collaboration might not be successful. It is essential that students don't become frustrated and demotivated but rather excited and motivated to try again and improve, again and again and again.

Assessment should not only be about giving a grade at the end but it should be an on-going process, where teachers and students alike assess their learning as they work on the projects.]]> 2016-06-28 22:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/prof_radanovic/pbl/wish/115625279 prof_radanovic https://padlet.com/prof_radanovic/pbl/wish/115625458 2016-06-28 22:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/prof_radanovic/pbl/wish/115625458
