3.  In the traditional
absorption model of
teaching, the teacher
organizes and presents
information to student –
learners.
 This teaching approach
has been proven successful
for achieving learning
outcomes following the
lower end of Bloom’s
taxonomy: Knowledge,
comprehension, and
application are concerned.

7.  Challenge for today’s
learners – this is not
simply to achieve
learning objectives but
to encourage the
development of students
who can do more than
receive, recall, recite, and
apply the knowledge
they have acquired.

13.  The modern day teacher is now guided on the goal of
helping the students achieve higher level thinking skills
and creativity beyond the ordinary benchmark of the
student’s passing, even excelling achievement tests.

15.  It consists in having the students work on projects
with depth, complexity, duration and relevance to the
real world.
 This new method involves students in the active
creation of information, such that there is sustained
reflective thinking on topics that have a real-world
quality to them.

16.  There is a tighter link
between the use of
projects for simply
coming up with products
to having the students
undergo the process of
complex/higher thinking
framework of the
constructivist paradigm.

17.  Under this framework, it is the students, not the
teacher, make decisions about what to put into the
project, how to organize information, how to package
the outcomes for presentation, and the like.

18.  Meanwhile, the teacher, without staying away from the
project endeavor, guides and facilitates the learning
process.

20.  The process of project implementation takes the
students to the steps, efforts, and experiences in
project completion. Thus we have to bear this in mind:
THE PROCESS IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE OUTPUT.

21.  The process refers to the
thinking/affective/psychomotor process that occurs on
the part of the learner.
 This comprises the journey that actualizes learning.

22.  The product is the result of this all-important process.
 The product can be a summary, a poster, an essay, a
term paper, a dramatic presentation or an IT-based
product.
