It describes how project-based learning immerses students in meaningful problems and allows them to direct their own learning in groups. While it can increase engagement, knowledge retention, and critical thinking, critics argue it may over-emphasize products over learning and can involve subjective assessments.

    roject-based learning

    Students have to take an active role in their own learning, but are often disengaged from
    the learning process. Project-based learning allows students to be fully immersed in an
    authentic and nuanced problem that has real-life implications.

    Project-based learning is open-ended, and allows students engaged in group work to find
    their own way to the solution. It doesn’t look the same in every classroom -- class size,
    student ability and learning styles play a large role in shaping the process.

    While proponents point to increased engagement, knowledge retention and improved


    critical thinking, there are also significant criticisms: Project-based learning can be too
    focused on product creation instead of learning, and assessment is often subjective.

    To learn how to effectively incorporate project-based learning techniques into your


    classroom, read The Definitive Guide to Project-Based Learning: Definition, Debates,
    Ideas and Examples.

    25. Experiential learning


    Every classroom has a wide range of levels and learning styles, which can be difficult
    for any teacher to effectively address. Use experiential learning activities to counter
    student disengagement and get them involved in the learning process.

    Traditional learning activities

     Teacher-centered/focused
     Fixed rubric or scoring system
     Explain knowledge or skills by transferring information
     Fixed structure, high degree of facilitation
    Experiential learning activities

     Student-centered/focused
     Flexible and open learning outcomes
     Develop knowledge and skills through experience
     Flexible structure, minimum facilitation

    Provide students with new ways of learning to help them stay focused, learn
    dynamically and learn faster.

    Engage students in the process of inquiry and reflection! Ask them to create three to five
    questions (with answers) on a recent lesson. In pairs, have students quiz their partners on
    the questions they wrote, and watch to see which concepts students consider to be the
    most important from their lesson.

    26. Peer teaching


    Proponents have been pointing to the advantages of peer teaching since the 18th century.
    It's one of many teaching strategies that helps develop reasoning and critical thinking
    skills, and a pioneering 1988 study found it improved self-esteem and interpersonal
    skills.

    It can be difficult, however, to bring it to the classroom -- students might have different
    proficiency levels or be hesitant about teaching their peers, and it can lead to
    confidentiality issues about which students are struggling.

    Some best practices for peer teaching include:

     Explaining to students how to give feedback


     Providing written prompts to guide discussion
     Running classwide peer editing sessions

    27. Inquiry-based learning


    Inquiry-based learning has been around since the 1960s, but it still remains a
    misunderstood teaching strategy. In the inquiry-based learning classroom, teachers are
    responsible for guiding students through their questions -- past curiosity and into critical
    thinking and understanding.

    There are 4 main types of inquiry-based
