  1. P_______ Based Learning Building a why and what

  2. What are we going to do today?

  3. Look in the bag of Lego What can you tell me about the pieces in that bag. They are part of a story. What do you think that story is?

  4. Inquiry Inquiry ALWAYS begins with a QUESTION (interrogatives anyone?) Four Levels of Inquiry (Banchi, 2008; Herron, 1971) • Confirmation • Structured • Guided • Open

  5. Levels of Inquiry

  6. Yes? How/Why?No? How/Why?

  7. “what’s in the bag?”

  8. Yes? How/Why?No? How/Why?

  9. iMovie covering content learned about Industrial Revolution.

  12. What you gonna do?

  13. When Officer Dan comes for you

  14. Officer Dan’s Dilemma

  15. You can help Officer Dan • Build a vehicle that Dan can use to transport the crook back to the station house. • The crook must be secure. If there is a gap wider than 1 unit he could escape or cause trouble. • Dan doesn’t like to litter so you need to use all the pieces • Aesthetic is very important. Your design must be symmetric. • If you can get both characters in and out of the vehicle without taking it apart, you will get a bonus.

  16. Go for it

  17. You can be a rock star,but you still need to learn the chords

  18. Old School Flipped Instruction • Self paced • Replayable • Just-in-time

  19. Blocks are the facts & figures

  20. We don’t just want students to accumulate blocks…..

  21. We want them to build elegant constructs using those blocks

  22. Elegance comes in many forms

  23. Release the Kraken

  24. P_______BL means starting here

  25. … and going there

  27. “One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.” Sophocles, 400 B.C.

  28. Is divergence = competence? Competency: Competency is more than the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Competency implies the ability to analyze and synthesize information and transfer learning from one subject to another.

  29. Competency Based Education • Outcomes are stressed • It is criterion-referenced • Provides flexibility in acquisition of learning • No implicit sequence for learning activities • It considers the relative values of outcomes • (del Bueno, 1977)

  30. P_____BL - Defining and Situating Exploring Terms Associated with PBL Inquiry Problem-based Learning Project-based learning Service Learning

  31. Problem-based Learning Involves Inquiry (a non-trivial question or task) Goal: To Solve a Problem May or May NOT involve a project Product: A solution (multiple solutions possible)

  32. 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

  33. Service Learning • Is P_______-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.
