Assessment

PBL based  assessment criteria:

Problem-based learning is a teaching method in which students acquire knowledge and skills, working on one project for 4 weeks, to research and find an answer to a genuine, interesting and complex question, problem, or challenge.

For project grading, in the first week, provide this material (PBLrubrics) to students in order to:

– the students previously understood by what criteria they need to prepare,

– pupils were able to independently assess their colleagues.
