Hi Sara, Thanks so much for ...

Hi Sara,

Thanks so much for engaging on this : -) You raise so many interesting points.

I can see that we are always in danger of overly framing the perception of our learners and thereby placing limitations upon their learning, but of course you have to start somewhere. Also liked your reference to the level of focus on 'tools' and 'learning' and the consequences of such a focus.

When students take responsibility for their learning, they become active learners who are taking responsibility for developing their own knowledge and understanding. In the context of learning and teaching a few important aspects to consider might be:

• What is the learning focus?

• How will this be achieved?

• How may the learning be demonstrated?

I’m sure that a PBL approach is a useful tool in the learning compendium.

Thanks again Sara.............I would be deligthed to see other contributions.
