Assessment for Learning
Fri, Oct 20, 2017 11:11 AM
Great Strategies for PBL!
I found this article extremely helpful in giving new teachers ideas for incorporating project-based learning or problem-based science in the classroom. Today, it is especially important that we keep the content relevant to our students and probe for their interests. This article gives many suggestions and strategies for implementing PBL and using formative assessments along the way. Summative assessments can often be daunting and lower student morale, as they feel like they have to prepare and may do bad on a unit test. Formative assessments, especially in the PBL scenarios, allow us to truly understand what our students know about the topic, instead of if they just memorized a fact for the test. I enjoyed the article as it made PBL/PBS seem less scary to implement in the classroom. The article emphasizes giving student feedback, rather than outright telling a student they’re “wrong.” I believe this is a great article to help teachers build science concepts in students and to foster a creative, collaborative learning environment.
