Problem, Brain, Challenged Based Learning…Oh My! Distinguishing Between the Methods | Active learning | Scoop.it

Fill in the blank and you have heard about some type of ‘based learning’. With all these different terms and methods it is hard to distinguish one from the other.  Many overlap and this post will be my attempt to help distinguish between them all and provide resources if you want to learn more.

Finland is recognized as a global leader in education, with Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores among the best in the world. Many reasons have been cited for this, including the equal educational opportunity for all, competent teachers, and the overall societal appreciation for education in Finland. I was fortunate to speak with a leader in Finnish education, Kirsti Lonka from the University of Helsinki, while at the Partners in Learning Global Forum in Prague. Lonka made it clear that while Finland is proud of its success, its educational institutions are far from resting on their laurels.

I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning

The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning | Active learning | Scoop.it

Projects in the classroom are as old as the classroom itself.

“Projects” can represent a range of tasks that can be done at home or in the classroom, by parents or groups of students, quickly or over time. While project-based learning (PBL) also features projects, in PBL the focus is more on the process of learning and learner-peer-content interaction that the end-product itself.
