Projects involved in this model are complex and focused on complicated questions/problems which enables students to investigate further and use their problem-solving abilities in designing the outcome and honing their decision-making skills
BENEFITS: (1) Evidence shows it enhances the quality of learning (2) Leads to higher-level cognitive development through engagement of students with novel and complex problems
CHALLENGES: (1) Students may have difficulty with making meaningful scientific (?'s) (2) Complexity of the project and time constraints (3) It might present challenges in classroom and time management for teachers
The model is representative of a learning process through questions generated from interests, curiosities, perspectives/experiences of the learner. When investigations grow from an innate curiosity, learning is an organic process that is intrinsically enjoyable
(1) ENGAGEMENT: Question used to engage the students (2) EXPLORATION: Objects/concepts are explored (3) EXPLANATION: Students explain their understanding of concepts and processes (4) ELABORATION: Activities allow students to apply concepts in contexts and build on understanding their skills (5) EVALUATION: Students assess their knowledge, skills and abilities
Learners are encouraged to question everything. It is often used to stimulate positive growth in the quality of human discourse. Open-ended questions initiates the process of this method of learning
