USING PROJECT BASED LEARNING FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AT THE CLASSROOM LEVEL: A CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Curriculum planning occurs at several levels – classroom, school, national and international. Teachers have always had an important role in implementing classroom level curricula. Teachers have traditionally determined the amount of learning (Bellon et al. 1992), as well as the learning activities used in achieving learning outcomes. They are also responsible for creating a classroom learning environment and engage students in learning communities to accomplish learning outcomes. Project Based Learning, as a classroom activity, provides the teacher with a way to help students learn through experience This paper is a case study of an international project between US students and Basque students (Spain) in which the two countries work together analyzing the effects of Project Based Learning and social media on project outcome. The conclusions and recommendations focus on classroom level curriculum development.
