Project-Based Learning (PBL): MUED 372

1
- Giving them ownership of their learning
- Making them lifelong learners
- Gives them critical thinking and problem solving skills that they’ll need for the real world
- (5 key components)
- Real-world Connection:
- Having an authentic problem that drives the curriculum
- Core to Learning:
- Direct connections to the standards
- Structured Collaboration:
- Allowing the students to work together, but giving them a structure within
that to work
- Student Driven:
- The teacher becomes more of a facilitator and the students take more
control
- Multifaceted Assessment:
- Assessment being integrated within the entire unit
- Research studies show that students who are receiving PBL, as opposed to traditional
instruction:
- Become more engaged, self-directed learners
- Learn more deeply, and transfer their learning to new situations
- Improve problem-solving and collaboration
- Perform as well, or better, on high-stakes tests

- PBL provokes critical thinking, student interest, and skills as the students engage
- Based on the idea that real-life problems capture student’s attention, and provoke critical
thinking
- Designing: “Attention to structure, topic selection, context, questions, critical thinking,
dispositions, scope, and the nature of the experience inform how a project unfolds over
time.”
- Requires addressing standards to cultural relevance
- States that PBL can really help music educators with helping their students with their
musical understanding and skills
- “While projects provide rich contexts for musical learning, projects typically do not
constitute the whole educational program.”

“Getting Started With Project-Based Learning (Hint: Don’t Go Crazy)”
- Renovate a Project:
- Instead of taking the time to create a completely new project, renovate an
existing one.
- When doing this, don’t look just in the grade level you’re teaching, look in other
ones and see if they can be modified
- Limited Scope:
- In the beginning, don’t go for long, drawn out projects that will take many weeks
to complete, and will require many standards to be learned
- Stick to 2-3 week projects that are concentrated in one subject
- This can build stamina for more extensive projects to come
- Plan Early:
- You need to plan upfront- including assessments, scaffolds, and gathering
resources
- Get ahead and feel prepared about your project
- Gather Feedback:
- Get feedback on your project from your colleagues digitally and in person
- Main Course, not Dessert:
- The project itself is the learning (the main course)
- You’re teaching through the project
- Use an effective PBL checklist
- Commit to Reflection:
- When you finish a project, you should set aside time to reflect on it
