What is Project-based Instruction?
• “An approach that focuses on the central concepts and principles of a discipline, involves students in problem-solving investigations and other meaningful tasks, allows students to work autonomously to construct their own learning, and culminates in realistic products” (Buck Institute for Education 2001).

Project Based Learning - Cultural Migration
Where did we come from?
From the First Americans on, the North American continent has been
populated by immigrants. The United States is proud of being a
"nation of immigrants," and for many years, scholars of immigration
history have been busy documenting the experiences of U.S.
immigrants from all over the globe, from Puritans and Pilgrims to Irish
to Japanese to Mexicans. As a Nation, we have formed human
communities from this rich diversity.
This project will help us explore our communities. As we look around
look around our communities, who are our neighbors? Who lives with
us, and where did they--or their parents, grandparents or great-
grandparents--come from? Are people of common ancestry still tied
to one another in their daily life? Do they live in particular
neighborhoods, have their own celebrations, or participate in ethnic
organizations?

Project Based Learning - Cultural Migration
Cultural MigrationWhere did we come from?Sociologists have explored human migration in terms of the "push-pull" model. This model differentiates between push factors that drive people to leave home from pull factors that attract migrants to a new location.
Let's explore our local communities. Your community explorations and observations may lead you to ask more specific research questions about why things are the way they are. Let's begin this community work by asking some questions that will help focus this interesting work

Project Based Learning - Cultural Migration
Quindaro Townsite
An archaeological district in the vicinity of North 27th Street and the
Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks in Kansas City, Kansas. The settlement was
established by abolitionists in late 1856, with construction starting in 1857.
The town was rapidly settled by migrants aided by the New England
Emigrant Aid Company, who were trying to help secure Kansas as a free
territory. One of a number of villages hugging the narrow bank of
the Missouri River under the bluffs, the town was a free state port-of-entry
for abolitionist forces of Kansas. It was established as part of the resistance
to stop the westward spread of slavery. Quindaro's people also aided
escaped slaves from Missouri and linked them to the Underground Railroad.
Gradually the lower commercial town site was abandoned and became
overgrown. The town site was rediscovered during archaeological study in
the late 1980s, which revealed many aspects of the 1850s town.[3]

Project Based Learning
“The development of a problem-centered approach
to learning allows teachers to operate as a
mediator, guide, provocateur, friend and co-
learner with their students. These investigations
will provide fertile ground where their students can
transfer their learning to multiple contexts.
Learning that only occurs in a single context will
become inert except within that context. Problem-
centered learning allows many experiences and
prior knowledge to come into play as students
develop new constructs.” (NRC, 1999)
![Page 32: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What does it look like?
![Page 33: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Project Based LearningStudents use a “road map” to the process of
science to “navigate” through their research work – a modified Vee diagram (Gowin).
![Page 34: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The activities and experiences organized around the Creating the Context Vee diagram are a set of very deep, very rich, experiences. It is this work and interaction that create the environment from which good research questions emerge to drive the Research Vee diagram.

Research• What is the normal variation in the Stomatal Index found on a
species?
• How much does the Stomatal Index vary between species?
• Is the age of the tree related to the number of stomata found on the leaf?
• Does the cardinal direction the leaf comes from on the tree influence the Stomatal Index? (In North America, the south side of a tree will receive more light and be exposed to more wind.)
• Does the direction the terrain slopes (where the tree is) make a difference tree on the number of stomata found on the leaves?
• Is there a difference in stomatal index on leaves grown in a carbon dioxide enriched environment to those grown under normal atmospheric conditions?
• Is there a variation in the stomatal index along a rainfall gradient?
• What is the variation in numbers of stomata that occur between plants growing in similar habitats but using different photosynthetic pathways, C3, C4, and CAM?

Project Based Learning
Keeping an Eye on Ozone
Ground level ozone is believed to be the most ubiquitous air pollutant and the cause of much injury to the biosphere. Ozone is a toxic gas which is formed by a reaction between air pollutants and sunlight. While the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere protects you from ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight, ozone that forms near the ground is a health hazard. Ground-level ozone affects the respiratory system and can be especially harmful to very young people, elder people, and those people with chronic lung disease.

Visualization – Pattern Seeking
Is generally the process of searching for new unknown patterns within data layers. Often such patterns can only emerge after numerous iterations within an analysis or synthesis activity.
Completely open-ended inquiries typically driven by a problem driven unit of study. Only for teachers who excel in the subject matter, technology, and cartography.
Manipulation of data legends, classification, dimensionality, temporal, or dynamic variables.

– Effective anchors can be developed
through the SCRAP questions:– What is the Situation?
– What is the Challenge?
– What Role(s) does the student assume?
– Who is the Audience?
– What is the Product/Performance students will demonstrate and or
create?

Scaffolding Problem Solving:
Elementary Mathematics
![Page 57: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
A classic algebra problem
Farmer Jane raises chickens and cows on her
family’s farm.
When she looks over the fence, she counts 8
heads; when she looks under the fence, she counts
22 legs.
Does she have more chickens or cows?
How many of each animal does she have?

Why are there problems like this?
What is the goal of problem-based
learning?
Do we need project-based instruction?
What does it look like in math?

“An approach that focuses on the central concepts and principles of a discipline, involves students in problem-solving investigations and other meaningful tasks, allows students to work autonomously to construct their own learning, and culminates in realistic products”.
(Buck Institute for Education 2001)
Project-based Instruction
![Page 62: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
… involves students in problem-solving… meaningful tasks… construct their own learning… realistic products
Problem-based Instruction?

Problem Performers vs. Problem Explorers
How do your students explore problems?
By using an operation to solve them?
By practicing productive struggle?
Would scaffolding help students become better
problem explorers?
![Page 64: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Strategies
Strategy 1: Introduce a simpler problem
Strategy 2: Elicit prior knowledge
Strategy 3: Delay the question

Strategy 1: Introduce a simpler problem
The simpler problem comes before the primary
problem.
![Page 66: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Strategy 1: Introduce a simpler problem
Original problem –
Farmer Jane raises chickens and cows on her family’s farm.
When she looks over the fence, she counts 8 heads; when
she looks under the fence, she counts 22 legs.
Does she have more chickens or cows?
How many of each animal does she have?
Is there a simpler problem?
![Page 67: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Strategy 1: Introduce a simpler problem
Is there a simpler problem?
Suppose you see a chicken and two pigs on a farm.
How many legs will you see?
How many heads will you see?
![Page 68: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Strategy 2: Elicit prior knowledge
Begin by asking “what do you know about …?”
![Page 69: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Strategy 2: Elicit prior knowledge
Original problem – find area of a non-typical shape (L problem)
https://owlcation.com/stem/Compound-shapes-How-to-find-the-area-of-a-L-shape
![Page 70: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Strategy 2: Elicit prior knowledge
Is there a task that would elicit prior knowledge?
“What do you know about area?”
Ask students to use grid paper to draw a rectangle that has
an area of 12 square units.
![Page 71: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Strategy 3: Delay the question
Share the problem without asking the question.
![Page 72: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Strategy 3: Delay the question
Original problem –
Jake wants to make peach tarts for his
friends. He needs two-thirds of a peach for
each tart, and he has ten peaches. What is
the greatest number of tarts that he can make
with ten peaches?
(adapted from https://mathjourneys.org/2012/04/02/math-peach-tart-problem/)
![Page 73: The Challenges of Problem-based and Project-based Learning ......Active Learning - Project-based Learning The Six A’s Authenticity Is the project based on a problem of question that](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e485c02700d4e2b200e3c/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Strategy 3: Delay the question
Is there a way to explore the problem first?
Scaffolded version –
Jake wants to make peach tarts for his friends. He knows
two-thirds of a peach will make one tart.
Use questions to focus attention on relevant parts of the
problem.
