  1. Understand what PBL is and isn't
  2. Reflect on our own teaching practice and how this corresponds to a PBL approach
  3. Identify different components of effective PBL and which of these will be the most challenging in our context
  4. Develop a first idea for implementing a PBL approach in our context and formulate a driving question

PBL is a great way how students can learn and develop their character in the same time.  They explore a lot of new things and create more  connection in their mind. But for teacher, PBL is a great challenge because our system doesn't  allow me teach by this way.

I work as a teacher at The Elementary School of Ludovita Fullu in Košice. My subjects are math and chemistry. I teach students between 12 - 15 years old. I love my job - discussing with students, helping them to understood new thing by many ways. This means that I need to improve my skills, to study about new methods of teaching and to know how I can prepare students for live in the 21st century. I would like to know more about using technology in class of my subjects. 
Nowadays I often use group work with a short reflection and feedback at the end of lesson. I create students’ group by difference way – it’s depend on the aim of lesson. I try to keep one statement which I’ve heard – All things that students can do themselves teacher can’ do. That means I explain less, I organize their work less, I ask more about awareness of their learning, I do more feedback for their work. I think that I would be able implement it in PBL approach but I see one problem – I can’t teach by this way all school year in the present.

Effectively, this question should be the guiding principle for the entire PBL process that you will go through with your students. The question should be open-ended, engage and inspire students by creating curiosity, and be aligned to the learning goals you would like to achieve.]]> 2017-10-21 19:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/199293411 luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/199294022 2017-10-21 19:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/199294022 Partnership for 21 century learning luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/199294190 http://www.p21.org/news-events/p21blog/1097-teaching-critical-thinking-skills-through-project-based-learning]]> 2017-10-21 19:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/199294190 Developing effective collaboration for PBL luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/201433098 The learning objectives are:

  2. Develop a series of strategies and activities to promote effective collaboration between students

- Offer tools to helps kids manage time and tasks
- Use tabletop instructions to keep kids focused

This link to the "real-world" can be established in different ways but one of the most powerful mechanisms to do this is by involving audiences or partners from outside of the classroom or even better outside of the school.  As part of this we explore two different types of collaboration with outside actors.
The first is about organising projects together with students at another school - the eTwinning network.]]> 2017-10-28 19:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/201437160 luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/201437737 The second area to consider here is about involving people from the community in students' work.

  1. Understanding the importance of scaffolding the PBL process so that students increasingly develop independence and ownership over the tasks
  2. Understanding the importance of a positive environment and mindset for building student confidence and resilience
  3. Developing a range of activities, strategies and tools that facilitate an entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial skills

After my first attempts, I was very disappointed because each group of students wanted something and I didn’t feel well with this way teaching. So I reflected a lesson with my mentor and decided some steps to improve my skills, especially selecting and dividing tasks. Systematically I worked on this and now I know how to choose tasks for each and how to manage the time for work (my and students’). ]]> 2017-11-03 21:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203479496 Scaffolding for Student Ownership and Independence luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203479596 We cannot simply give students independence and hope they wil just take charge of the process. Students' ownership over the process needs to develop as part of PBL and it is our job to scaffold classroom activities in such a way that allows such ownership to develop.
KEY 4 : Facilitating learning in a student - driven environment.
  • Give students voice and choice in the process.
  • Let the students to seek answers independently.
  • Make time for reflôection and revision.
  • Have students track their own progress.

Resilience is a quality that helps us through daily stressors and major life crises. While some of our resilience is associated with inborn personality traits, there’s much you can do to develop your resilience level, and the resources below can help.
Your answers indicate that you have many traits and thinking habits that are associated with greater levels of resilience, which is a very good thing. You are likely more able to handle life's crises – both major and minor – and turn difficulties to your advantage, or at least weather them optimally. The resources below can help you to build even more resilience in your life, and help those in your life do the same.]]> 2017-11-03 21:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203484374 Developing Student Resilience luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203484622 Resilience is a combination of skills and attributes that help to solve problems, cope with challenges, adapt and bounce back when things don´t go as planned.
PBL will require student resilience. We know that it is possible to develop resilience in our students through a combination of setting out the right environment, building positive relationships, and offering space for independent decisions. ]]> 2017-11-03 21:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203484622 3 tips to boost your confidence. luptacikova_ivana https://padlet.com/luptacikova_ivana/xkdtlmnm2o70/wish/203485355

It should become a standard feature of any scaffolding activities you might plan for your PBL implementation. Such type of assessment is known as formative assessment.

    1. Build assessment into the project flow.
