Question 4

Project-based learning

   A project-based classroom allows students to investigate questions, propose hypotheses and explanations, discuss their ideas, challenge the ideas of others, and try out new ideas.

 (Marx et al., 2004; Rivet & Krajcik, 2004; William & Linn, 2003)

At the beginning of the class, the teacher shows the students a presentation about presentation, stating that it's about their final project.

But we can only know it's about some essay/research because the video was edited

Key Features of PBL

  1. They start with a driving question, a problem to be solved.
  2. Students explore the driving question by participating in authentic, situated inquiry – processes of problem solving that are central to expert performance in the discipline. As students explore the driving question, they learn and apply important ideas in the discipline.
  3. Students, teachers, and community members engage in collaborative activities to find solutions to the driving question. This mirrors the complex social situation of expert problem solving.
  4. While engaged in the inquiry process, students are scaffolding with learning technologies that help them participate in activities normally beyond their ability.
  5. Students create a set of tangible products that address the driving question. These are shared artifacts, publicly accessible external representations of the class’s learning.

Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Krajcik, et al., 1994; Krajcik, Czerniak, & Berger, 2002

Student-centered pedagogy

We can see that the teacher put emphasis on the students. The main purpose of this lesson is to introduce them the idea of creative writing. Let them discuss about the example poems (in group).

 And then give them opportunity to output (individual).
