Giselle's instructional Model Presentation by Giselle Rincon https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp Project-Based Learning en-us 2022-04-17 04:35:33 UTC 2022-04-23 00:13:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Project-Based Learning yxys9v7p5t https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp/wish/2145823250 Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. 

Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience.

As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. Project-Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers.

Key elements of project-based learning

  • challenging problem or question.
  • sustained inquiry.
  • authenticity.
  • application of learning.
  • integration.
  • student voice and choice.
  • A public product for an authentic audience.
  • feedback loops of critique, reflection and refining of the product -including formative and summative assessment.

Project-Based Learning is a method of instruction that addresses core content through rigorous, relevant, hands-on learning. 

Projects are typically framed with open-ended questions that drive students to investigate, do research, or construct their own solutions. 
Nowadays, students use technology tools to communicate, collaborate, conduct research, analyze, create, and publish their own work for authentic audiences.

In Problem-Based Learning the goal is solving a problem. In Project-Based Learning  the goal is completion of a project. There is some overlap between the two models both in concept and in practice. Both instructional models help to motivate students, help them develop 21st century skills (critical thinking and problem-solving skills) and challenge them to learn in real-world. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp/wish/2145828666 Applications and Benefits of applying PBL yxys9v7p5t https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp/wish/2145830543 Although PBL applies across disciplines, it consistently emphasizes active and student-directed learning.

Applications of PBL in K-12 Education:
In various subjects matter, in courses like: Art, Language Arts, Mathematics, Music, Health/Physical Education, Social Studies, Science, World Language and more.

Benefits of applying PBL on K-12 Education:
- Promotes 21st century skills
-Fosters student understanding of the complexity of real-world problems
-Promotes long-term retention
-Motivates students to learn
-Activates prior knowledge

PBL consists of four major steps: 
1- Presenting the problem. 
2- Developing a plan for solving the problem. 
3- Implementing the plan. 
4- Evaluating the implementation of the plan. 

Project-Based Learning offer students choice and voice and personalizing the learning experience. By design, projects are open-ended engaging students in a higher-order thinking skills.

Here are some brief examples of using Project-Based Learning in the World Language classroom, especifically in Spanish courses.

-Having as a learning target: Demonstrating mastery of the vocabulary and grammatical concepts. Asking students to develop a travel guide to San Andrés, Colombia, a teacher may use Project-Based Learning for students to work on a series of activities or projects that further develop student's Spanish language skills and proficiency. (Kilbane & Milman, 2014. p.284)

Another examples:
- How can we use our target language to help visitors learn about our school? Students work together to create a virtual, bilingual tour of their school. Students practice their school vocabulary and the present tense in basic forms by including information about activities that happen in that space and people who work there. Teams plan scripts and develop storyboards before producing the virtual tours. The virtual tours will be featured on the school website for speakers of the language to see what the school stands for.

- What can international media tell us about what is really happening around the world? Students use the target language to explore a significant theme in current events (possible themes include migration and refugees, environmental sustainability, economic justice, public health, or human rights). They engage with authentic news sources in the target language. Each team produces a podcast segment or news report that describes and analyzes the issue/situation in an engaging format for teen native speakers of the target language. 

- Having as a learning target: Demonstrating and understanding various aspects of the target culture. Asking students to explore the following questions in regards of Hispanic/Latino culture:  
  1. Why do you think there is such great ethnic diversity in Latin America? 
  2. How a culture's clothing is an expression of its history and climate?
  3. How celebrations brings meaning to society?
  4. How a climate and architecture influence lifestyle?

PBL environments are designed to help students construct an extensive and flexible knowledge base, become effective collaborators, develop self-directed learning skills, develop effective problem solving skills, and become intrinsically motivated to learn (Hmelo-Silver, 2004).

The Problem-Based Learning has its roots in medical education. It began in the 50's at Case Western Reserve University used in medical schools, challenging medical professionals to apply their learning in real medical cases. (Kilbaen & Milman, 2014, p.281). 

This PBL was adopted as a pedagogical approach at Canada's McMaster University in the scientific field. Later on spread to academic programs in law, business and education. PBL has been used in higher educations to support student learning.

Recently the other model with the same acronyms PBL Project-Based Learning gained popularity in the K-12 educational settings.

-Confucius and Aristotle were early proponents of learning by doing. 
-Socrates modeled how to learn through questioning, inquiry, and critical thinking. 
- John Dewey, in the 20th-century, gives endorsement for learning that's grounded in experience and driven by student interest.
-Maria Montessori showed us that through example is that education happens by experiences upon the environment rather than listening to words. Learning is student-centered and learning environments may foster capable, adaptive citizens and problem solvers.
-Jean Piaget, provided us with the constructivist approach to education in which students build on what they know by asking questions, investigating, interacting with others, and reflecting on these experiences.

 Problem-based learning emerged more than half a century ago as a practical teaching strategy in medicine, engineering, economics, and other disciplines. 

In K-12 education, Project-Based Learning has evolved as a method of instruction that addresses core content through rigorous, relevant, hands-on learning. Projects tend to be more open-ended than problem-based learning, giving students more choice when it comes to demonstrating what they know.

I am focusing on Project-Based Learning which is under the Social Model. 

Social Learning Model is under the work in groups, active engagement and high motivation, promoting exploration and inquiry by collaborating with peers. Teacher is a faciliator and students are working in "synergy". PBL promotes more than cooperative learning with inquiry and exploration; with classroom management with clear norms and expectations of each group/team member in order to accoplish a goal together in synergy. Develops social skills and cognitive skills, among others. ]]> 2022-04-17 19:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp/wish/2146187300 yxys9v7p5t https://padlet.com/yxys9v7p5t/zkn2icon4uae57jp/wish/2146196821 Questions: 

- Does PBL requires a lot of changes in the school?

- What's most critical to the success of the project?

- What can be embedded into the project to help students see their own thinking, identify barriers and opportunities, and responing self-directed way?

- What learning taxonomies or cognitive actions might guide students to think best?


Reflection: 

Project-Based Learning serves as a platform to students for developing deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. 

My focus is including Culture in my Spanish Language everyday lessons to become more culturally competent which include: valuing diversity, having the capacity for cultural self-assessment, being conscious of the dynamics inherent when cultures interact, having institutionalized culture knowledge, having developed adaptations to service delivery reflecting an understanding of cultural diversity while developing Spanish Language Skills. 

I believe it is important to focusing on preparing citizens that are knowledgeable of other cultures, accepting other cultures, and gaining social and communication skills in another language than their native/home language. Language and Culture must go together to develop communicators with empathy and with global competency. Teaching Language and Culture in the Spanish Classrom is a window to promote empathy and cultural understanding, communication in national and international affairs, engaged citizens and solvers of real-life problems.
