The skill to organize collaborative problem solving activities is really what teachers lack.Many formal school teacher training programs do not emphasize this.Since this skill is essential in this century and beyond,curriculum content and teacher training programs should be adjusted to prioritize this.Many of us avoid it because of insufficient know-how.]]> 2017-11-23 07:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/209616985 stanonyedika https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/209625355 A maths teachers' experience using PBL to teach maths.
The experience shared is quite helpful. PBL may be one of the  antidote to the phobia students have for the subject.This of course may be partially caused by the overemphasizes on the importance of the subject rather than on the method teachers use which has dampened the interest of students.The centrality of the subject should drive the tutors to be in the forefront of innovative teaching.]]> 2017-11-23 08:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/209625355 stanonyedika https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/209655282 Examples of PBL from Across Europe

Teachers have real challenge assessing learners given the various innovations in education as a result of technological advancement.The traditional methods no longer suffice as we must learn skills that will enable us meet the curriculum requirement.Both formative and summative assessments have their benefits but the introduction of self and transversal skills are new areas of focus for me]]> 2017-11-29 10:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/211315679 stanonyedika https://padlet.com/stanonyedika/zkjj258to7x0/wish/211394726 Assessing Collaborative Problem Solving
