The 2015 Professional Learning Teams at Parramatta Marist High aim at creating effective PBL processes for enhancement of student learning.
I
have found PBL a great tool for student engagement and deeper learning.
The
challenge is to allow students to take ownership of the learning by way of
providing them with effective processes …….
How can we use the Knows/Need to knows to drive the teaching learning process????
What we do effectively…
- - checking prior learning and inquiry in
Knows/Need to knows list
- - Engage students in effective teamwork
- - Allow students to use team management logs
The following article by H.Weller outlines the need for a discrepant event in
teaching to grab the learner’s attention and initiate inquiry.
Why use a discrepant event in
teaching- (H. Weller – EDW 471/SMS 491 – Spring 2008)
What do PBL'ers do with the N2K's generated by students??????
- - settting off and sustaining sparks of creativity
is important and hence the K/N2K's – have to be revisited every second lesson
- - Teachers will have to plan projects and
anticipate K/N2k ‘s and create activities that will cater to a wide range of
learners
- - Incorporate N2K's arising from classroom activities, workshops(field trips, practical activities,tutorials)
- - Revisit rubric and make changes if necessary based on feedback on formative tasks.
- EMPHASIZE
AND REEMPHASIZE THAT THE
NEED
TO KNOW LIST IS A LIVING DOCUMENT.
