Problem Based Learning
(For Professional Discussion within schools working with Hooked on Thinking on PBL)
PBL and SOLO Taxonomy
PBL Process:
Authenticating the Learning> Awakening Prior Knowledge> Constructing Relevant Questions> Plan the Research> Discover Relevant Information> Construct Knowledge> New Insights and Understandings> Self and Peer Evaluation
PBL Self Assessment Rubric:
File:HOT Problem Based Learning Rubric BLANK.pdf
Hooked on Thinking Problem Based Learning Self Assessment Rubric (coded against SOLO Taxonomy) |
Constructing Relevant Questions e.g. Formulating focus question/s - open, undermining, rich, charged, connected, practical |
Plan the Research e.g GANTT Chart for process/ Locating resources for content |
Discover Relevant Information e.g. Identifying and retrieving information |
Constructing Knowledge 1 e.g. Analysing information and data: Breaking information into its constituent parts and finding out how the parts relate to one another and to an overall idea |
Constructing Knowledge 2 e.g. Conclusion and evaluation of new knowledge |
New Insights and Understandings: process and content e.g. Presentation: Create a presentation that puts all elements together to form a functional whole. Self assessment: Rubric for process and content |
