Descrição

The Challenge-Based Learning Guide is available below in PDF form, with additional links provided to the Challenge-Based Learning Online Toolkit and other supporting resources.

This Challenge-Based Learning Guide and Challenge-Based Learning Online Toolkit are designed to introduce educators to this student-centred approach to learning in a real-world, interdisciplinary way. This approach can be used to apply student learning to real-world challenges and develop action-oriented Sustainability Citizenship.

Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an effective learning framework initiated at Apple, Inc. and used in universities, schools, and institutions around the world. The framework empowers Learners (students, teachers, administrators and community members) to address local and global challenges while acquiring content knowledge in math, science, social studies, language arts, medicine, technology, engineering, computer science and the arts. Through Challenge Based Learning, students and teachers are making a difference and proving that learning can be deep, engaging, meaningful, and purposeful.

The CBL Toolkit is a library of resource that include ideas for challenges, process helpers and resources specific to the different phases and steps. Resources are also available to help develop assessment strategies and make us of student reflection.
