WELCOME
Hello! I am teacher of math and science in middle school. My students have between 11 and 13 years. I like work collaborration and now i m learning more about that. With this diary I hope to reflect what I am learning about the learning of collaboration and help those who also like the subject. .

I hope learnning very.

1.1. What is PBL?

badkat187 — 2017-10-16 20:33:24 UTC

In my opinion the videos are very interesting and enlightening.
I like working with projects. I usually work in group and articulate with various disciplines. But with these videos, I conclude that I only "do projects" to complete the stories and I do not for them to explore everything before I teach. My students are small so I still have a lot of control over the projects, which is probably wrong !?

1.2.Teachers x PBL

badkat187 — 2017-10-16 21:11:38 UTC

The PBL is no longer used because teachers are accustomed to open the book to teach the same, at the same time, all students and the PBL gives more work to a teacher. In addition, teachers are afraid of change and stop being "the holders of knowledge" and have everything controlled. Many teachers also do not master technology.

1.4 Components of Good PBL

I have no doubts about the importance of teaching change and the advantages of PBL. My biggest problem is the system bureaucracy. Bureaucracies oblige me to follow a curriculum and have many regular tests. My biggest challenge will be to evaluate and motivate students

1.5 The Driving Question

1 -Is the nutrition that is healthy for me the same as it is healthy for you?

2 - Can you get a plane to fly? Build your plane and check when time flies.

2. Developing effective collaboration for PBL

In this image it is possible to observe students motivated to work in groups, to solve a proposed challenge. All the groups did a different job, which in the end contributed to the elaboration of a single work of the class.

2.3 Effective Collaboration for PBL inside the Classroom

Build a flowerpot for classroom windows. The students in groups had to analyze the atmospheric conditions of the classroom (light, humidity and temperature), to research the plants but adequate for the classroom, to make the budget of the purchase and to arrange a strategy to raise money for the purchase of the plants. Each group presented their project. During the project each student had a role: the accountant, the gardener, the florist ...

2.4 Finding collaboration partners outside the classroom

badkat187 — 2017-10-29 01:33:48 UTC

After watching the video and thinking about it, I thought it was logical and very interesting. But this is a very difficult point for me. The school is right in the center of Lisbon and has only one church, many buildings where people live, the office of a political party and some cafes and restaurants. All very impersonal and not at all accessible. The school has one company for food and another for cleaning. The cleaning company leaves before the students arrive. I can only pick up a few parents. But I'm going to sound better.

2.5 Collaboration Tools

badkat187 — 2017-10-29 02:06:53 UTC

To work in collaboration with Facebook, Google Drive, Paddlet and Poplet

3. Developing student-driven activities for PBL

badkat187 — 2017-11-02 00:43:20 UTC

Many times in mathematics classes, I felt that the students were not aware of what I was teaching, they did not even listen to me. I felt frustrated, explained in a thousand different ways and felt the same. But I did not give up. And I realized that another colleague explaining sometimes made it easier or had to do day-to-day practical exercises for them to apply the rules even without realizing that they were going to do it.

3.2 Developing Student Resilience

badkat187 — 2017-11-02 23:59:21 UTC

- Absence of positive reinforcement
- Constant Criticism
- Discouragement
- Lack of attention
- Absence of affection
- Do not let him go wrong
- Do not give him room for creativity
- Do not reinforce group spirit

4. Your Assessment Context

badkat187 — 2017-11-12 22:24:45 UTC

At my school the assessment criteria are set by the whole school and I can not change it. In my opinion too much punctuation is given to the tests (knowledge) and very little to the atitides (group work, commitment, partitioning ...). It was decided to do two tests at least per period, which is equal to one year of schooling. Of course there is always some autonomy and percentage for reporting, for example, but it is very little. In my country the 2nd year, 5th year and 8th grade students take benchmarking tests and the 9th year has naconal examinations.

4.3. Peer Assessment for PBL

badkat187 — 2017-11-12 23:32:32 UTC

I had never thought of the importance of peer review, so I did not do it often.
Whenever I realized it, I felt that the students are more critical of each other than we are to them. And that sometimes the friendship factor also influence. I now believe that peer evaluation going through the scale decraus will be advantageous and improve my view on peer evaluation.
