Riassunto

New Page 1

This book is designed for researchers, educators, and teachers who are keen to learn about the research on Project-based Learning, the teachers and students in the project-based classroom learning environments (inclusive of both face-to-face and online) as well as the curriculum, resources, and instructional strategies for project-based learning.

 

Four themes are described in this book:

§         Setting the stage for Project Work

§         Teachers and teaching

§         Students and learning

§         Designing project tasks

 

The themes presented in this book are contextualised around the research conducted on Student-centred Learning in the Context of Project Work, which is unique, being one of the very few studies on Project Work in Singapore since its implementation in 2000.

Whether you are ready to "get started" with project-based learning in your classroom, or are looking for new ways to "keep your teaching going", or are contemplating to "carry out your own research in project-based learning", this book provides the necessary information as it can be used on its own or as an adjunct to an academic text.
