In this episode of 'The Blended Learning in Action: The Power of PBL,' we explore the concept of student agency and its critical role in Project-Based Learning. I provide practical strategies for educators to transition from a teacher-led model to a student-centric model, where students actively participate and shape their learning journey. Examples of this approach are discussed, ranging from climate change projects to literature assignments, illustrating the range of creativity and engagement that can be achieved when students take control. In addition to fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects at hand, activating student agency also helps students develop crucial skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and self-management. Tune in to discover how to infuse more student agency into your PBL projects.
