When librarians Becca Isaac and Rebecca Webster set out to turn their library at Fauquier High School in Warrenton, VA, into a more inviting place, they started with the doors-they’re wide open. In between classes, you’ll often find one of the librarians standing outside, ready to greet students as they come in.

    I tried this, until a clever student used his OWN hole punch for himself and his buddies! For homework passes, I would have to initial each with a COLORED ink pen, so they couldn't make copies of the passes. One of my 6th graders was making passes and SELLING them! I knew that any pass with my initials in black ink were copies. His dad thought I should give him credit for being such an entrepreneur. SMH 🙄 2:30

    Very Interesting. Do you have the research to back up the claim that project-based learning is actually as effective as direct instruction, beyond the two-year research done on two AP Classes? Or, is it rather the case that project-based learning, without direct instruction, is ineffective? That is, project-based learning is more of an add-on, rather than a necessity.

What I don't see is a true representation of high school classroom learning (that's where I live and operate).

      Okay . . . . I see that you're not responding. Either: 1) You're very busy, which is quite possible. 2) You don't have any other evidence of PBL being effectively used in grades 9 - 12. If reason 2 is the truth, then that leads me back to a modified version of my original assertion: PBL is ineffective in grades 9 - 12, without direct instruction. Do you have evidence, besides two carefully-selected AP Courses, which demonstrates that this is not true?

    • @CriticalSkills1
      @CriticalSkills1 4 дні тому

      ​ There are a lot of words here that are doing a lot of work. "PBL and "direct instruction" are terms which can encompass a broad set of classroom practices, implemented with vastly different degrees of skill in wildly different contexts. Also, "ineffective" is a moving target. I assume you're talking about student learning outcomes. As measured by test scores (which are more likely to measure student affluence than actual content knowledge)? Or by class-level assessment data (which can be equally fraught)? In my experience, the best way to know what a student knows- to measure student learning outcomes- is to ask them to implement that knowledge in a complex context, watch what they do, and ask questions about the decisions they've made. PBL is designed to do that. I think we'd probably agree that no single pedagogical approach works in all cases and that the wise educator makes decisions based on data and their own reflections, drawing on a wide variety of instructional strategies. White room research proving the effectiveness of a single classroom practice- any classroom practice- will never be conclusive because there are too many variables to control for. The best we can hope for is multiple studies showing different results in different contexts so we can tease apart the findings and make the best choices for our students. That being said, you might find these interesting: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10411581/#:~:text=The%20results%20of%20the%20study,thinking%20skills%2C%20especially%20academic%20achievement. ies.ed.gov/ncee/rel/Products/Region/pacific/Ask-A-REL/100256 kappanonline.org/research-project-based-learning-de-vivo/

    • @danborst1431
      @danborst1431 4 дні тому

      ​@@CriticalSkills1 I disagree that no one pedagogical method is going to be the main means to improve student outcomes. Moreover, the tone of Dr. Darling's brief discourse in this video is to infer that direct instruction occurs in "moments when needed," but the bulk of the learning is carried by PBL. However, if you look at the research presented, a question arises: How much direct instruction was involved in the use of PBL? Particularly, how much was used in the research that used two AP courses? That question is not addressed by the research presented, and that is precisely the question I am asking. What possible purpose could there be in not addressing the amount of direct instruction used when PBL is being used in the classroom? The purpose is quite obvious: Enhance and enlarge the importance of PBL, while minimizing the importance of direct instruction. My challenge to Edutopia is the following: repeat the AP Course research, removing all direct instruction. Then, let's see now those results compare to traditional classes. Question. If I were to look at the links you have placed here in the responses, would I see a clear measure of how much direct instruction is involved? Would that issue be addressed? Would it be fairly concluded that, without direct instruction, PBL and research-based learning are hampered? I doubt it. Rather, your articles/reports/research will present a glowing report on PBL or research-based learning, while minimizing the necessary and essential role that direct instruction plays.
