Description

The article describes PoBL as implemented through eight principles: "the organization of learning around real world problems; student centered instruction; collaboration; teacher as facilitator; authenticity through the use of authentic materials and audiences; formative assessment; reflection; and the production of authentic artifacts". The experimental group worked through five phases — organizing groups, stating subjects, designing the project, applying it, presenting, and evaluating — over two projects, each completed in six weeks, covering all course concepts.
