  1. Problem Based Learning 102 How can we ensure maintenance of a high level of cognitive demand from our students?

  2. Warm Up With your neighbor, discuss the following. Have you ever used a Problem instead of a Project before? What was the Problem and why did you use a Problem instead of a Project?

  3. Sample Entry Document This is a picture of an energy efficient, 20 watt light bulb. It produces the same amount of light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb. So it should save us money in the long run, right? But unfortunately, it costs a lot more. $12 compared with their incandescent cousins at about $1. The price for energy fluctuates wildly throughout the country, but it averages about 11 cents per kilowatt hour. Based on this information, how long before we start generating a net savings on our lighting costs?

  6. Cognitive Demand

  7. Declines in Cognitive Demand

  8. Decline in Cognitive Demand Maintenance of Cognitive Demand Appropriate scaffolding of student thinking and reasoning Students are provided with means for monitoring their own progress Consistent press for justifications and explanations through questioning and feedback Teacher draws frequent conceptual connections with students • Students press the teacher to reduce the complexity by specifying explicit procedures or steps • Teacher shifts emphasis from meaning and understanding of concepts to correctness or completeness • Not enough time is provided to wrestle with the task / concepts or too much time is allowed and students lack focus • Students not held accountable (i.e. unclear or incomplete explanations are accepted)

  9. Formative Assessment & LASW

  10. Calibration and Facilitation Strategies

  11. Problem Based Learning & New Tech PrBL and Rubrics Managing the group process How is the group process similar to that of PBL? How is it different? Is there a role for group contracts in PrBL? If so, do they need to be modified? • What does a rubric look like for a Problem Based Learning approach in Mathematics? • What, if any, modifications potentially need to be made?
