Five Keys to Rigorous Project-Based Learning Voiceover: How will today’s children function in a dangerous world? What means will they use to carve the future? Will they be equipped to find the answers to tomorrow’s problems? Teacher: When you think about traditional learning you think of a student sitting in a classroom and being talked at. Teacher: Now I imagine a lot of you are still thinking... Teacher: They are supposed to be a sponge. Peggy Ertmer: So there are a lot of different ways to approach PBL, a lot of different ways to implement it, but really it all boils down to five essential keys: real-world connection, core to learning, structured collaboration, student driven, and multifaceted assessment. Student: One of the problems in the ocean is that with the higher amount of CO2 calcifying organisms are decreasing and we’re testing to see how well life in the ocean lives without calcifying organisms. Student: --four by eight feet. Peggy Ertmer: So the second commonality is the PBL unit provides academic rigor. Student: Yes.

Project Planner | MyPBLWorks Start planning your next PBL project with confidence, using this step-by-step form as your guide. Why is a project planner important? When you’re ready to design a project for your classroom, it’s helpful to have a framework to capture your ideas and organize your plans. A Gold Standard PBL unit has a lot of pieces to plan: your goals for student learning, entry event and driving question, major product(s) students will create, daily lessons, and more. It’s also a good idea for a school to use a common framework for PBL unit planning, so teachers can collaborate using the same language, and share projects more easily with colleagues. So we’ve created a Project Planner to support you in the planning process. The Project Planner has five parts: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Il Problem-Based Learning dalla pratica alla teoria Abstract Il Problem-based learning (apprendimento basato su un problema) è un metodo di insegnamento centrato sull’allievo in cui un problema costituisce il punto di inizio del processo di apprendimento. Esso presenta numerose e significative differenze con la formazione tradizionale. Che cos’è il Problem-Based Learning In molti di noi, la parola “problema” fa affiorare ricordi scolastici non sempre piacevoli. Il PBL in pratica Un problema è presentato ad un piccolo gruppo di allievi e discusso con loro. Il ruolo delle tecnologie Le tecnologie informatiche e telematiche possono svolgere diversi ruoli in un ambiente di apprendimento di tipo problem-based. Come si noterà, fra questi risultati c’è un miglioramento delle cosiddette “competenze trasversali”, legate alle capacità di diagnosi, di relazione e di costruzione di strategie, e delle competenze di “lifelong learning”. Secondo Savery e Duffy (2001) il PBL è in linea con i seguenti principi didattici derivabili del costruttivismo: 1.

Apprendimento Basato sul Progetto (Project Based Learning): Apprendere dalle Esperienze Cos’è il project based learning? Il PBL è un approccio all’insegnamento che pone maggiormente l’accento sull’apprendimento da esperienze complesse, orientate verso il raggiungimento di uno scopo o di un obiettivo specifico, al contrario dell’approccio accademico tradizionale che promuove la memorizzazione meccanica di molteplici nozioni alienate dai loro usi concreti nel mondo reale. L’obiettivo che si pone il PBL è quello di fornire alle giovani generazioni gli strumenti mentali necessari per far fronte alla complessa e mutevole natura dell’economia basata sull’informazione che dovranno prepararsi ad affrontare. La scuola ti ha mai insegnato come verificare, dubitare e mettere in discussione ogni fonte di informazione? Ti ha mai insegnato come organizzare al meglio il tuo lavoro se fai parte di un team collaborativo? In questo processo, gli studenti sono anche motivati ad imparare come usare le nuove tecnologie per assolvere in modo più agevole ai propri compiti. Come Funziona il PBL

didatticapersuasiva Fra le strategie didattiche più significative si segnalano tutte le situazioni che attivano la cooperazione fra studenti. Il lavoro cooperativo trasforma il gruppo degli studenti in un “organismo” che vive e si modifica secondo le scoperte, le necessità e i bisogni, ma anche attraverso gli insuccessi e le sconfitte. La cooperazione fra studenti Le strategie cooperative sostengono nel tempo la motivazione e lasciano una traccia delle esperienze svolte evitando o riducendo la frammentazione e l’episodicità di contenuti e di azioni. Dal lavoro di gruppo al Jigsaw Un modo per produrre lavorando in gruppo è quello di avere prima lavorato da soli con lo scopo di portare al gruppo elementi necessari alla produzione comune. Questa modalità prevede che l’impegno individuale sia finalizzato agli apprendimenti personali, e che in un successivo momento sia attivato il raccordo con altri compagni per elaborare prodotti condivisi. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Five Habits of Great Classroom Coaches Foster student performance throughout the project process In a student-centered, project-based classroom, the teacher roams the classroom, guiding students as they explore, plan, think, and create. We often hear the terms facilitate and “guide on the side” to describe this role, but I think it more useful to think of this role as coaching. Coaches are more than facilitators; they share a common goal with their players. In sports, the team’s shared goal is to win. Winning occurs in education when students become strong thinkers who can find, analyze, and apply information to solve problems, persuade others, and create something that is useful and/or remarkable. Coaches always have an outcome in mind and work to help team members reach that goal. Coaches do not spend most of their time lecturing or even “front-loading.” The project building process minimizes how much of the teacher’s time is spent directing the class from the front of the room. The best coaching involves: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

La festa di Maria Santissima Addolorata di Aspra: storia e leggenda nel borgo marinaro | Il Siciliano In uno dei borghi marinai in cui la sicilianità si respira quotidianamente, caratterizzato dai pescherecci in riva al mare e dai vecchietti che accanto a questi disputano partite a carte, si festeggia, in questi giorni, Maria Santissima Addolorata. In base alle tradizioni popolari tramandatici, erano due i momenti che gli aspresi dedicavano a Maria: il 15 Agosto festeggiavano Maria Assunta, la cosiddetta “Maronna ‘ri pirriaturi”, cioè “Madonna dei picconieri”; il 15 settembre festeggiavano invece la Madonna Addolorata. Solo l’ultimo dei due culti fu tramandato e continua a essere praticato tuttora. Si racconta che, presumibilmente nel ‘700, quando il Marchese di Sant’Isidoro fece costruire la Chiesa di Aspra, i pescatori chiesero di avere un proprio culto mariano e quindi un proprio simulacro da porre nella chiesa appena nata. Invitarono quindi lo scultore Civiletti a incidere la statua della Madonna. Di seguito una poesia di Michelangelo Balistreri:
