As a result of using Project-based learning approach, students
take learning as well as teaching into their own hands. This is a very
beneficial lifelong lesson that continues to develop even after the project is
complete. A student’s project can be “brought home” when students learn
leadership, teamwork, and cooperation throughout their project and because the
project is designed, created and presented by them they will complete the
project with a sense of pride, achievement and ownership. Not only is
Project-based learning beneficial for students, but for teachers and faculty as
well. The teachers are able to review students’ projects and take a new
look into the minds of students. They are then able to network with other
faculty and share inspiration and good, as well as not so good, ideas with
others. Concepts in this chapter relate to our teams topic/project by
emphasizing the importance of taking pride in the completed project. Once
the project is completed, our team has developed knowledge about teamwork,
dedication and what it takes to help make a project beneficial. Our
teammates will use this knowledge throughout their lives to all projects that
they may become involved in.
I like how you mentioned teamwork, dedication, and what it takes to make a project beneficial! It's important to reflect on the project and all that you have done with your team (others students and teachers). To really make a project successful, one must work as a team and be dedicated to it
ReplyDeleteI like your answer about what students can take home from the project. I think the ideas that you listed, leadership, teamwork, cooperation, etc. are important skills for students to learn, and the earlier they learn them in life the better they will be prepared to succeed.
