Student Empowered Education: Empowering Students to Excel Scott W. Kunkel, Ph.D. Creator of Student Empowered Education © 2010 Scott W. Kunkel Part 2 SEE and PBL

Introduction to Part 2 : 

Introduction to Part 2 In Part 1 we learned: Student Empowered Education turns classroom into role-play game that is fun “Rules of the game” manage the classroom, freeing teacher to coach and mentor Student Empowered Education turns the schoolwork into “meaningful work”

Introduction to Part 2 : 

Introduction to Part 2 In Part 2 we’ll learn: How a Project-Based Learning (PBL) is different from traditional teaching That Student Empowered Education as a variant of Student-Centered Project-Based Learning

Student Empowered Education Uses PBL : 

Student Empowered Education Uses PBL “Project-Based Learning” also called “Problem-Based Learning” or “PBL” PBL may be the greatest innovation in teaching since the printing press. PBL allows school work to become “meaningful work”

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class : 

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class In a traditional class Teacher “presents” material Teacher tests to see if the students “learned” it (i.e., memorized it) Primarily passive learning Not “meaningful work” Empty Vessel philosophy

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class : 

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class In PBL class Learning objectives are built into projects Students complete projects Students must complete learning objectives to complete projects Projects are “meaningful work” Teacher provides “just-in-time” learning

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class : 

Traditional Class vs. PBL Class Students think task is to complete projects so learning happens painlessly Active learning Philosophy -- we learn more by doing than by just hearing or seeing “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” -- Chinese Proverb --

Two Types of PBL : 

Two Types of PBL Project-Centered PBL Student-Centered PBL Student Empowered Education utilizes Student-Centered PBL

PBL : 

PBL Negative to PBL training is that little guidance is provided on implementation: Project evaluation methods Poor quality project – accept or redo? If redo, how do you grade? Student motivation How to make them want to do the projects? SEE provides the implementation missing in PBL

Student Empowered Education : 

Student Empowered Education SEE is a “Student-Centered PBL” course Students play a role-play game: Design and customize projects and assignments that require them to complete the learning objectives of the course All work must be completed with quality Poor quality projects and assignments must be redone and resubmitted

In Student Empowered Education : 

In Student Empowered Education Teacher controls content of learning Student controls context of learning Example: Traditional project: “Write Literary Analysis on Moby Dick.” SEE project: “Write Literary Analysis on any work you choose.”

In Student Empowered Education : 

In Student Empowered Education SEE provides “rules of the game” – materials provide strong structure so students feel safe to experiment SEE structure provides maximum flexibility for student choice, increasing student motivation
