Comparison Traditional Instruction Emphasizes Project Based Learning Emphasizes • Teaching role • Follows fixed curriculum • Proceeds block by block, unit by unit • Narrow, discipline-based focus • Teaching role • Follows student interest • Large units composed of complex problems or issues • Broad, interdisciplinary focus
Comparison Project Based Learning Emphasizes Traditional Instruction Emphasizes • Materials of instruction • Texts, lectures and presentations • Teacher-developed exercise sheets and activities • Materials of instruction • Direct or original sources: printed materials, interviews, documents, and others • Data and materials developed by students
Comparison Project Based Learning Emphasizes Traditional Instruction Emphasizes • Classroom context • Students working in groups • Students collaborating with one another • Students constructing, contributing, and synthesizing information • Classroom context • Students working alone • Students competing with one another • Students receiving information from an instructor
Comparison Project Based Learning Emphasizes Traditional Instruction Emphasizes • Student role • Carry out self- directed learning activities • Discoverer, integrator, and presenter of ideas • Students define their own tasks and work independently for large blocks of time • Communicate, show affect, produce, take responsibility • Student role • Carry out instructions • Memorizer and repeater of facts • Students receive and complete brief tasks • Listen, behave, speak only when spoken to
