Redesigning Program Assessment for Teaching with Primary Sources: Understanding the Impacts of Our Work

ABSTRACT This article describes how redesigning a program's assessment practices for teaching with primary sources (TPS) can provide a clear framework for talking about the impact of educators' work in archives and can provide feedback on how to refine instruction practices for greater results. The authors share a description of their assessment redesign process accompanied by analysis of the implementation of our new assessment tool in the hope others will consider the design and goals of their own assessment practices. The authors' work demonstrates that reflection on existing tools, development of new goals, and design of new assessment strategies can yield inspiring new data on program impact and highlight areas for improvement. By illustrating the authors' redesign process, this article also demonstrates the types of impacts and outcomes that educators can measure for TPS and points to the huge potential of TPS in local history contexts and elsewhere. The authors' revised student assessment moved archives staff from relying on self-reported, affect-focused data to better understanding the outcomes of their work with students: the impact of project-based learning in archives; the value that students find in various aspects of their encounters with archives; the role that TPS in local history contexts plays in connecting students to their community; and the transferability of research skills that students learn through TPS activities.

The Impact of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Model on Secondary Students’ Creative Thinking Skills

This study aims to identify the impact of using the project-based learning (PjBL) model compared to the direct instruction learning model on secondary school students' creative thinking (CT) skills. Quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group design was carried out to achieve the research objectives. Fifty secondary school students randomly chosen as experimental group (n = 25) and control group (n = 25) participated in the study. Eight essay tests were used to collect students' CT based on fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration indicators. Data were analyzed descriptively (n-gain) and statistically using paired t-test and independent sample t-test. The result shows that students' CT significantly improved after learning for the experimental group (n-gain = 0.47; p < 0.05) and the control group (n-gain = 0.25; p < 0.05). However, students' CT in the experimental group was significantly different compared to the control group achievement (p < 0.05). Thus, the conclusion proposed that the PjBL model significantly impacts secondary school students' CT skills on the temperature and expansion material.

The Impact of Project-Based Learning on AP Exam Performance

Harnessing a cluster randomized controlled trial, we estimated the impact on students’ advanced placement (AP) examination performance of a project-based learning (PBL) approach to AP compared with a lecture-based AP approach. Through PBL, teachers primarily play a facilitator role, while students work on complex tasks organized around central questions leading to a final product. We estimated positive and significant treatment effects on AP exam performance for the overall sample, within both AP courses studied, and within low- and high-income student groups. Results support teacher-driven adoption of the PBL AP approach within both courses studied, among districts with open-enrollment AP policies and supportive of PBL, for students from low- and high-income households.

The Importance of Project Based Learning in Teaching English as a Foreign Language - A Case Study from the Republic of Kosovo

Abstract This small-scale research paper analyses both teachers’ and students’ perceptions and their roles towards the use of Project Based Learning (PBL) in a research context in the Republic of Kosovo. The study was completed by sixty students of three lower-secondary private schools in Kosovo and eight English language teachers who work there. The aim of this study was to investigate teachers’ perspectives on using PBL in their classes, the challenges they face while applying PBL, the most common benefits PBL implementation, the materials used with this method, and the impact of PBL on students’ motivation to learn English as a Foreign Language. The data obtained from interviews with teachers highlight that teachers use PBL to a certain extent, though it works much effectively with lower-secondary and upper-secondary education. Teachers preferred to use Project Based Learning in their classrooms in general, although there appears to be some uncertainty between doing projects and Project Based Learning as a strategy. English language instructors have only seen themselves as facilitators of initiatives carried out in the classroom, resulting in a student-centered environment. In contrast to the past, it appears that teachers make extensive use of technology and involve students in a variety of activities to boost their learning and keep them engaged in PBL. Students on the other hand, through a very small number, highlighted that PBL is a better teaching approach in comparison to the traditional textbook teaching and learning.

Project Based Learning for Children with Special Needs during the Covid-19 Pandemic

The purpose of this study was to describe the application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to Special School Teachers (SLB) in distance learning (PJJ) for Children with Special Needs. There were 4 aspects that would be measured: (1) the level of teacher's understanding of PjBL, (2) the level of teacher needs for PjBL in PJJ during the covid-19 pandemic; (3) the quality of PjBL learning applied by teachers after attending PjBL training, and (4) the impact of PjBL on the learning outcomes of Children with Special Needs (ABK). This type of research was survey research involving 22 special school teachers in Central Java Province. Data were collected using a semi-closed questionnaire, which was then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that teachers' understanding of PjBL was sufficient and the teacher's need for PjBL learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was high. The quality of PjBL learning was considered to be better than conventional learning and the implementation of PjBL had a positive impact on the activity and critical thinking-based learning of students with special needs (ABK).

The Impact of Project-Based Learning on Students’ Cultural Awareness

While only a few studies have been conducted to explore the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) in culture teaching/learning in second and foreign language education, no study known to the investigator has empirically measured the effect of PjBL together with the cultural framework of the 3Ps (products, practices, and perspectives) in the teaching of culture in an EFL context. This study aimed to measure the effect of PjBL on students’ awareness of the English cultures. Two intact groups at a Moroccan public school were randomly assigned to control and treatment groups. A cultural awareness test was utilized to measure students’ cultural awareness levels before and after a 24-week treatment. The independent sample t-tests indicated that the PjBL group substantially outperformed the control group in cultural awareness. While the study concluded that PjBL is a useful tool for incorporating cultures in the EFL classes, its proper implementation entails a redistribution of power in the language classroom and a radical change in the culture of assessment.

Action Research on Impact of Project-based Learning on Intrinsic Motivation of Private College Students Learning English in China

The study investigates the effect of project-based learning on the intrinsic motivation of private college students learning English in China. Motivation is instrumental to students’ learning process, private college students in China are less academically motivated than their counterparts in public institutions. Project-based learning is an effective instructional technique that empowers students to be the center of learning. In this action research, 21 students learning English in a private Chinese college were administered with the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory to examine the difference of their intrinsic motivation level before and after a project. The result of the study shows significant difference existing in interest, autonomy, competence and pressure students perceived before and after the project, which supports project-based learning has a positive impact on students’ intrinsic motivation for learning. Based on this result, it is highly suggested that more considerations should be given to incorporate PBL in course design to enhance intrinsic motivation of private college students in China.

Project-Based Learning as a Method for Interdisciplinary Adaptation to Climate Change—Reda Valley Case Study

The challenges of the global labour market require university authorities to extend traditional forms of education into more innovative and effective solutions. Project-based learning (PjBL) is one of highly effective methods for acquiring knowledge and teaching “soft” skills to future employees. This article describes an experimental use of PjBL at a university with a long history of teaching based on traditional methods—the Gdansk University of Technology. The experiment was conducted in the academic year 2017–2018, in collaboration with the city of Wejherowo. The project’s main goal was to solve the city’s real problems related to climate change, land development and water management. The project was implemented experimentally as part of two subjects: spatial planning, and monitoring and environmental management to ensure an interdisciplinary approach and cover the scope of the project fully. The results of the experiment confirmed the evidence-based advantages of PjBL. However, several methodological, organisational and technical problems, which need to be resolved before a new edition starts, were encountered during the experimental implementation of the method. The experiment was positively received by students, clients, and tutors. To evaluate the impact of PjBL on spatial planning education, the new edition must include a methodological framework for evaluation.

Challenges Assessing the Impact of Project-Based Learning on Critical Thinking Skills

ABSTRACT The lack of a precise definition for critical thinking makes it difficult for educators to agree on specifically how critical thinking should be assessed. This study assesses the efficacy of an innovative university initiative designed to promote critical thinking through project-based learning (PBL). Over 400 students participated in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment including critical thinking items from both a widely used inventory as well as a new assessment designed to assess critical thinking in a more practical fashion. The authors’ novel critical thinking assessment breaks down critical thinking into construction and critique components, with results indicating that critique is more challenging for students, regardless of experimental condition. However, students specifically prompted for critique demonstrated more attempts at critique than their counterparts who did not receive a critique prompt. The results indicate a paucity of critical thought in general, suggesting multiple challenges for both the teaching and assessment of critical thinking skills.
