Learning History in Middle School by Designing Multimedia in a Project-Based Learning Experience. A Critical Review by Yimegnutal Nibret Pdf

Literature Review from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: Post graduate studies, Bahir Dar University, course: History Education, language: English, abstract: The focus of this critical review is a research article titled “Learning History in the Middle School by Designing Multimedia in a Project-Based Learning Experience”. The study investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) with the integration of multimedia technology to teach history to grade eight students in Northern California, USA. The research is conducted using a quasi-experimental research design. Through gathering and analyzing quantitative data, the researchers attempted to explore the effect of technology-assisted PBL on the students’ content knowledge, historical thinking skills, and attitudes about history education. The findings of the review show that the study is corroborated by the previous research works and theory, and the findings are open for replication in other school environments. Moreover, the study instigates history teachers and educators in other social science fields to conduct experimental research in their respective fields. The study also suggests history teachers to adapt the use of technology-assisted PBL as the main instructional strategy to teach history to enhance students’ achievement in their understanding, thinking, and appreciation of historical information.

Identity Safe Classrooms, Grades 6-12 by Becki Cohn-Vargas,Alexandrea Creer Kahn,Amy Epstein Pdf

Welcome to Identity Safe Classrooms! In identify safe classrooms, students facing negative stereotypes or viewed as different are “seen,” accepted, and valued for who and what they are. Their identity is embraced as an asset not a barrier for school success. Identity safety is a research-based set of practices that counter the harmful effects of stereotype threat and allow our students to reach their full capacity for learning, foster positive relationships, and better appreciate the full spectrum of human differences. The second of a two-volume set, Identity Safe Classrooms, Grades 6-12, is a call for educators to come together and realize a vision of schools as transformative places of opportunity and equity for all students. Inside you’ll find: Design principles for promoting belonging and a welcoming classroom environment Compelling evidence from identity safety research on ways to mitigate stereotype threat along with counter-narratives that challenge societal biases about gender, race, and other differences Pragmatic strategies for student-centered teaching, including trauma-informed practices, that hold high expectations and validate each student’s background as a resource for learning Vignettes with concrete examples and try-it-out activities and prompts for self-reflection Devour Identity Safe Classrooms, adopt its practices, and soon enough you’ll inspire in all of your students a greater sense of empathy and agency in their educational experiences. “Dr. Becki Cohn-Vargas along with Alexandrea Creer Kahn and Amy Epstein show us the intersections between adolescent identity development, racial identity development, and social-emotional development so we know how to use the diversity in classrooms as our strength.” --Zaretta Hammond, Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain “Identity Safe Classrooms should be in the hands of every educator who walks into a school. It's clear and accessible, grounded in research, thought-provoking and engaging, and actionable, and fills a crucial gap in our resources for creating just and liberated schools.” --Elena Aguilar, Author of The Art of Coaching “The authors have done an excellent job showing how an identity safe classroom integrates the growth mindset in a secondary school. When students feel accepted and valued, when they feel safe learning from mistakes and encouraged to continually grow as learners, they can reach their highest potential.” --Carol Dweck, Stanford University

STEM Project-Based Learning by Robert M. Capraro,Mary Margaret Capraro,James R. Morgan Pdf

This second edition of Project-Based Learning (PBL) presents an original approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) centric PBL. We define PBL as an “ill-defined task with a well-defined outcome,” which is consistent with our engineering design philosophy and the accountability highlighted in a standards-based environment. This model emphasizes a backward design that is initiated by well-defined outcomes, tied to local, state, or national standard that provide teachers with a framework guiding students’ design, solving, or completion of ill-defined tasks. This book was designed for middle and secondary teachers who want to improve engagement and provide contextualized learning for their students. However, the nature and scope of the content covered in the 14 chapters are appropriate for preservice teachers as well as for advanced graduate method courses. New to this edition is revised and expanded coverage of STEM PBL, including implementing STEM PBL with English Language Learners and the use of technology in PBL. The book also includes many new teacher-friendly forms, such as advanced organizers, team contracts for STEM PBL, and rubrics for assessing PBL in a larger format.

Project Based Teaching by Suzie Boss,John Larmer Pdf

It's no secret that in today's complex world, students face unparalleled demands as they prepare for college, careers, and active citizenship. However, those demands won't be met without a fundamental shift from traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward innovative, student-centered teaching and learning. For schools ready to make such a shift, project-based learning (PBL) offers a proven framework to help students be better equipped to tackle future challenges. Project Based Teachers encourage active questioning, curiosity, and peer learning; create learning environments in which every student has a voice; and have a mastery of content but are also comfortable responding to students' questions by saying, "I don’t know. Let's find out together." In this book, Suzie Boss and John Larmer build on the framework for Gold Standard PBL originally presented in Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning and explore the seven practices integral to Project Based Teaching: Build the Culture Design and Plan Align to Standards Manage Activities Assess Student Learning Scaffold Student Learning Engage and Coach For each practice, the authors present a wide range of practical strategies and include teachers' reflections about and suggestions from their classroom experiences. This book and a related series of free videos provide a detailed look at what's happening in PBL classrooms from the perspective of the Project Based Teacher. Let's find out together.
