What is PBL?

As for PBL (project-based learning), it is considered as a teaching method where students can obtain insight and abilities through working for a long amount of time to research and answer to an original, motivating and hard matter, challenge, or trouble.

We believe this method is rewarding for the following reasons:

1. It provides opportunities for students to use technology.
2. It promotes lifelong learning.
3. It connects students and schools with the real world.
4. It lends itself to formative and authentic assessment.
5. It builds skills for college, career and life.
6. It encourages imagination and creativity.

Some of the steps to follow in PBL and its key features are summarised in these diagrams:

Destruction of creativity in education

This past weekyet another interesting matter has been put to the table, andthatis the theme of creativity and imagination in our present society, ocncretly in education. Suh an important factor is presneted by non other than Ken Robinson. As he explains, creativity in general terms is very much lagging in the educational system given by a number of concepts such as all subjects worldwide being based upon mathematics and linguistics.


 Yet another mentioned problem is related to talented children being represed in order to be accepted into their educational context. In the mean term, as they grow up, they will eventually lose their interest in their capabilities in the fields, consequently wasting their skills in thinfgs they don´t whish to do. Htrough all this and much more, Ken declares that "schools are killing creatibity".
