Breaking Down the Complex
Work of Teaching PBL (Project Based Learning) Into Manageable Chunks Creating a product in the end is indeed the most effective way to learn something. That is what is called Project Based Learning (PBL). It is also different than the traditional curriculum-based learning system that enforces students to learn something day by day all planned out. The method also instills the ability to work as a team on group projects that will enhance their collaboration skills. The method is also increasing students' motivation by providing a fun and productive environment.
There is an association called STEAM which embraces the
goal to overcome barriers in applying PBL by breaking down complex instructional methods into manageable components. We can list and explain these components as such: The 5E model of instructions: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. Briefly, let's say we want to apply these steps on a topic we want to teach to the students. As a teacher we are engaging interests of students by activities, we are engaging curiosity among them. After that we are creating a space and roadmap for students to comfortably explore and to eliminate curiosity by making research and inquiries. Then we are going to explain what the topic actually is and enlighten them in the field by giving the necessary information. In the continuation, we are letting them apply the insights they gained by these steps and create a basic product, or something related to that on by themselves. This step is crucial for their understanding. As a final step we are going to make students evaluate the process they have accomplished. Important things to be aware of based on the article: 1. Make students work as small groups: This will enhance their collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills. By working in small groups, students can share ideas, debate perspectives, and build on each other’s strengths. 2. Real-World Applications: Applying real world relevant projects can motivation and engagement by linking classroom content to real-life situations.
