1. What do you understand by Project Based Learning, according to
your work with the teacher last semester?
I understood that the PBL is a strategy implemented by the university
to develop the learning process in a more practical way, where through inquiries, we forge and expand our knowledge in the English language, at the same time in which we carry out an action as a common good.
2. What are the steps you followed in PBL last semester?
First of all, we as a group contribute ideas to choose the topic, then
we chose a name for it; after, we decided what the final product would be and Finally, we did 3 homeworks before reaching the final product with the guidelines that the teacher was indicating.
3. Please, explain briefly each step you followed.
Choose the topic: the teacher explained to us that we should choose
a topic, where through the English language a common good will be generated. Choose a name: After choosing the topic, we had to choose a meaningful name to represent it; for which, each one contributed a name and this was put to a vote to choose the one indicated. Final product: there was a dialogue about what would be the final purpose of the chosen topic; In this way, a common agreement was reached on what would be made as a final product. Homeworks: The teacher designed working groups to develop the PBL, and every 2 weeks she assigned us an activity with respect to the chosen topic to start creating our project.
4. How many people were in each work group?
In each work group there were 4 people.
5. In your opinion what were the postiive and negative aspects of
working with PBL?
In my opinion, I have no negative aspects with respect to the PBL of
the last semester, on the contrary, I think that the development and the times were adequate, since, when it came to works on this topic, the teacher did not demand others from us. aside so we could focus on getting it right.
6. What topics did you work on PBL last semester?
We work about self care and the self love.
7. What topic(s) would you propose for this semester?
I would propose a topic about the rescue of values.
8. Would you like to add any comment, question or suggestion for this semester's PBL work?
As a suggestion, I would like to take into account the management of
time in relation to assigned work; This is in order to avoid the stress produced by the tension to the moment of wanting to comply with everything requested on time.
