Journal Entry 8

Simulation and games are related to project based learning because you can have groups of students make their own models to represent complex material; like the United States Government. Students could also be split into groups for a debate, being asked to collaborate to form their groups opinion on the topic up for debate.

Cues, Question, and Advanced Organizers are related to project based learning because this strategy gives you an idea about level of information or topic the students would be interested in and ready to conquer. This is done through accessing their prior knowledge.

Reinforcing Effort is compatible with project based learning because it is important to encourage students through any educational process, but students rely on it more when they are left to make their own decisions about what is being done.

  2. The barriers are teachers may not know about PBL's or they don't know any techniques to connect them to their content standards. Some challenges to inquiry approach to learning is many teachers aren't knowledgeable about these techniques to effectively implement them into the curriculum.
