What
are some of the challenges raised by adopting a PBL
approach, and how can these been overcome? |
You will be entering Phase 3 of the Learning Circle in this, the 6th week of your module. In this phase you will identify what data you want to gather from Learning Circle partners and send questions/instructions to them about how to gather that data for you. It is the responsibility of each class in a learning circle to collaborate with the other classes in the learning circle. You ask them to gather data for your class and in turn your class gathers data for each of them. |
When you start to use PBL in your lessons,
there can be many challenges that arise, especially if you
are the only one trying to be innovative in this way. Also,
because you may not be used to it, you may fear the consequences
of adopting PBL. This activity aims to look at some of the
challenges of PBL, and to look at ways of dealing with the
challenges and fears that you may have. You are encouraged
to reflect on all the things you think could go wrong, and
share your thoughts with the group. In this way, the online
group can be supportive and help each other with taking a
difficult, but important, step.
