The Big Idea – Where’s The Fit for PBLDefining and Situating Exploring Terms Associated with PBL Inquiry Problem-based Learning Project-based learning
Inquiry Inquiry ALWAYS begins with a QUESTION (interrogatives anyone?) Four Levels of Inquiry (Banchi, 2008; Herron, 1971) • Confirmation • Structured • Guided • Open
Problem-based Learning Involves Inquiry (a Question) Goal: To Solve a Problem May or May NOT involve a project Product: A solution (multiple solutions possible)
Project-based Learning • Inquiry – Involves a Question • Usually involves addressing multiple problems in the course of the inquiry • Anchored in making/doing/producing a Product • Product Presented to Panel/External Experts • The Product MATTERS to external audience • Must be an AUTHENTIC endeavor
Service Learning • Is Project-Based Learning • Project is generated by the outside audience • Community relevant – problem is community based • Can often be leveraged for opportunities for external funding • Product Presented to Panel/External Experts • Must be an AUTHENTIC endeavor (more on this tomorrow).

Not all changes are equal S S Not all IZone efforts have to be equally spread across the three areas. T C T C S C An IZone should involve some change in each area even if it’s a secondary focus. For example, take the common core rollout……. …..If you just increase the complexity of the content without changing what students and teachers are doing will you achieve the results you want? T
