Traditional Classroom vs. PBL

Researching on Project Based Learning has really made me feel that sometimes in class we think we are a PBL classroom but still work as a traditional class. It is hard for teachers to let children go and let them be in charge of their learning. For teachers it is hard and difficult to stop teaching a class and only guide students along the way but as 21st century learners we need to change the way we see learning and give students the opportunity to explore and express themselves. Teachers need to be willing to participate in this learning process and teach students efficient strategies that will develop lifelong habits. As teachers, it is our duty to create a healthy environment, a learning pathway,  where students can engage and commit to learning and be reflective along the way of the results.

This chart shows, in a simple way, the difference between traditional classrooms and PBL classrooms. The most evident difference between this two is that PROJECT is the UNIT for PBL as for Traditional Classrooms is only part of the unit.
