In
countries where there are some serious social and economic problems, and where
experts are hired from every part of the world for some development projects,
students trained with PBL will be very useful in the future. I believe this
because when in their youth they are soon trained to focus on problem or question
that has meaning to them and get involved in problem or question that are
actually tackled by adults at work or in the community, and requiring students
to produce something that has personal and/or social value beyond the
classroom. This inspired PBL behaviors can make students soon useful for the implementation
of development project that can bring real change to communities and nations.
Apart from that the ability to learn decision making and collaborative
attitudes are some vital keys for managers and learning them early can help students
awake their genius. They will look differently at social problems. Not as we
did when we teachers were children, I mean passively. They will acquire as
habit that when something is wrong, you take action to correct it whatever your
age or field. This is very important and we must try to popularize this Project
based Learning, in order to change the mind of the current youth for a better
world tomorrow.
Yes I believe so but it would be great if after having taught Project Work , when adult students would use them in their daily life.
ReplyDeleteit seems that you are relying on politicians and the like and I am not so sure the thing will work.
I do not have so many expectations as regards this side of the field. Politics will always be away from peoples needs and if they ever use projects it will be for their benefit.

Hi Elena!
ReplyDeleteYou're right when saying that we must not rely on politics to implement this. I was not also targetting them directly even though i really believe that we need those in high position for a large application of all reform. The people can not start such a change in the education field without the support of those who can validate the content of every education content in a country.
Kind regards!
