42.030 - Developing Optimal Learning Moments in Science by Engaging Students in Project-Based Learning Across K–12

Sat, April 29, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 208

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In Project Based Learning (PBL) students engage in making sense of phenomena to answer meaningful questions through collaboration, investigation and the design of artifacts that respond to the driving question. This pedagogical approach holds promise in supporting all students in learning, engagement and self-efficacy (Krajcik & Shin, 2014). However, research is needed to effectively design, develop and enact PBL. In this session, researchers from several projects that have designed, developed and tested PBL materials in upper elementary and secondary classrooms, and in various contexts, will present their research results and implications related to the teaching and learning of PBL. The results will shed light on how to more effectively design PBL to support all students in learning challenging science.
