SC ED-S 4189 - Project-Based Instruction

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

Project-Based Instruction (PBI) is the capstone course in the sequence of required education courses and is required before TUteach students take Education 4688: Student Teaching in Secondary Education. PBI is the course in which the major themes of the TUteach program – integrated content of mathematics and science learning, infusion of technology in representation, analysis, modeling, assessment and contextualization of the content, field-based experiences, and equity – converge into an exciting and intellectually challenging culminating experience. When students complete PBI, they are fully prepared for Student Teaching. Whereas in Classroom Interactions, students gain experience designing a sequence of several lessons that they teach to a high school class, in PBI, students design full units of connected lessons – a skill that is required in Student Teaching. PBI also provides students with the experience of managing lessons and students outside a classroom, in a field setting. Despite its name, PBI emphasizes choosing from a variety of appropriate teaching styles, depending on the type of material and the learning objective, with project-based instruction being just one possible alternative. In addition, PBI requires students to incorporate various technologies into the units they plan.
