Question 3 for activity

"Teachers often ask the question "How can I make more use of PBL at a time when my school administrators are demanding that I spend more time teaching to the tests that our students have to take?"

I would first say: "Yes, you can!"

Of course, this will bring challenge and time consuming for the teacher because he/she has to study, understand, analyze, adopt, craft, and design the PBL based on the subject matter will be tested. On details, the teacher has to study and understand the content subjects, then start analyzing it with question "what and how should I teach to the students in order to answer this test without focusing on memorization?" Once the teacher has figured out the material, he/she has to adopt the material into PBL concepts, then design it into the shape of PBL lesson.

This looks difficult; however, the main point is simple. It is basically: "how to change the teaching method to learner-centered." The curriculum would be the same, but the instruction and the delivery should be "authentic and challenging," and the focus should be "having students pose challenging problems and tasks, and then working to solve problems or accomplish tasks." In this way, students will understand the content more than traditional delivery method, and remember longer than memorization (Moursund, 2003, p. 21).
