Key elements of PBL

What are the key elements of PBL?

PBL is a dynamic pedagogy that may not appear the
same in any two classrooms given its studentfocused, personalised nature. While PBL is a very
flexible approach, there are a number of common
elements that should be present in order to promote
deeper learning and high quality work.
These elements include:
sustained inquiry
authenticity
challenging problem or question
application of learning
integration
student voice and choice
public product
feedback loops of critique, reflection and refining
of the product - including formative and
summative assessment
In practice, these principles are reflected in the
particular activities that the students engage in,
including:
entry events or hooks
introducing and exploring the 'driving question'
developing 'need to knows'
co-constructing rubrics
designing and running culminating events
presentations of Learning

 debriefing
assessment
