[quote=Anonymous]I don't think we should have Project Based Learning models for math or mathematical aspect of science. Not all subjects should be project based. However, these models should work for social studies and arts. The traditional teaching passes outdated facts to the students. Students were trained to memorizing bunch of wrong facts. Example - Pluto used to be a planet when I was in elementary school. Most of our college courses, especially upper level ones, are based on Project Based Learning models. The teachers should guide the students how to to do research, how to pick the right source, discard the junk, and how to organize and present the materials. Yes, there are lazy cheaters in the Project Based Learning models. Do you have such teammates at your work place, too? This is real world learning.[/quote]
