Organisation / Design

How do we start designing a PBL?
 
According to VERGARA RAMÍREZ you need to have the following points in mind when creating a PBL:
 

The opportunity

  1. Do projects only develop spontanously from students' innicaiative?
  2. Can I plan a project in advance?
  3. How do I know if I can work on important contents for my subject in my project?​
 

The intention

  1. What can be the trigger for a group to tackle a project?
  2. What do I have to do for a student to accept a project and engage with it?
  3. Which tools can I use for my project?
 
Planning a PBL

Step 1:  Try to connect the occasion with the students.

Step 2: Be sure that the opportunity you have chosen answers to a                   specific interest in your students.

Step 3: Be sure that the project allows students to have social                     relevance.

Step 4: Your students have to feel that they can be part and                         participate in the project not only as receivers but                           as creators of content.  

Step 5: Use different channels to share information: video, audio,                 text, images, places. The information travels through                       different channels. It is not one-directional, not only verbal.

Step 6: Include elements of games as a proper value. GAMIFY!

Step 7: Include the rational, relational, emotional and kinesthetic                dimensions of learning.
