Elementary Students' Academic and Social Emotional Learning Through Project-Based Learning: Results of an Efficacy Study
Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Project Based Learning (PBL) engages learners in making sense of phenomena to answer meaningful questions through collaboration, investigation, and the design of artifacts. We use the principles of PBL to design learning environments to foster usable knowledge for elementary students. Our project, Multiple Literacies in Project-Based Learning (ML-PBL) holds promise in developing student learning, engagement and self-efficacy. However, there is no evidence supported by large-scale, randomized-control studies of the effectiveness of PBL in science at the elementary level. In this session, researchers from different institutions and disciplinary backgrounds will present results of a matched, randomized-control efficacy study of ML-PBL learning environments. The results will shed light on effectiveness of PBL to support elementary students in learning challenging science.
