Unit 11 - Managing ICT for...

First, i must understand why student doesn't do a project?

Students resist homework if…

1 The homework takes too long to complete.

In a study of over 7000 students (average age of 13), questionnaires revealed that when more than 60 minutes of homework is provided, students resisted.  In addition, based on standardized tests, more than 60 minutes of homework, did not significantly impact test scores.

Teaching Tip:  Ask students to record how long it takes to complete homework assignments for one week.  Use the record to negotiate a daily homework completion goal time.  As an acceptable time frame is established, this allows the student to focus more on the task.

2 The value of homework is misunderstood

Students erroneously believe that homework only has academic value.  In a study of 25 teachers, interviews showed that teachers’ use of homework extended beyond the traditional practice of academic content.  For example, 75% of these teachers report homework as an effective tool (to measure learning motivation, confidence, and ability to take responsibility).

Teaching Tip:  Communicate with students the multiple purposes for homework.  Reveal how homework has both short-term (impact on course grade) and long-term benefits (enhance life skills).  Identify specific long-term homework benefits that students may be unaware of such as organization, time management and goal setting.

Hallo, first of all PBL is a technique which help both teacher and learner during teaching and learning process. It helps to: 1. Save time 2. Critical thinking 3. Creativity 4. Discovering of new things The teacher is considered as a facilitator. Method used is learner centered approach. If the student does not do a project, the teacher must check if: 1. All materials/tools were available 2. The project was undeestandable to everyone 3. Deadlines were set in real time 4. All students were able to do the project, I'd project is at their level.

Thank you all for your explanations.

If a learner was provided the necessary material and sufficient time and he/does not do the project I think we must check whether he/she has no personal problems(home related issues for example a learner after school time has a lot to do at home or any other home problem) then we provide advice to him/her.If it is the reason related to neglectance or any discipline issue we choose a punishment for correcting him or her.

As facilitator, you must help them and show them how to make a project based. It is the first  task of the teacher/facilitator to help learners.
