PBL & TBL together: „Question-solution-realization-promotion! [30.06. – 05.07.2025.]

Three major course points

1. Highly useful teaching method – Integrated class!
Combination of two different subjects (Art and English language) at the same time and the same
place teaching mutual students. Modern teaching methods and approaches are applied: active
teaching and learning methods, cross-curricular approach, mentoring work & project class

2. Facilitating & reinforcing class for highly-motivated, talented and gifted students

3. Development of competencies in the field of cultural awareness/expression,
language skills, digital skills, media and information literacy, active citizenship and
entrepreneurship skills

The Course Summary:

PBL & TBL – project  & task based learning have a lot in common, but also they differ by their teaching
focus. While PBL concentrates on executing complex activities and integrating different subjects content
and knowledge to find a right answer to the project questions, and eventually create a solution that
relates to the real-surrounding context, TBL accomplishes its fundamental goals through achieving
strong language skills and competencies. Both methods motivate development of a lifelong learning
process, needed for getting abilities for the present/future labour market and for daily life
advancements.

The participants will get the real-world related project task and they will connect different
content/subjects knowledge to find the right solution and to create their own product that refers to
preserving cultural heritage.

Although both methods put a student in the centre of learning, that does not mean that only a single
student executes activities. The course forte is on team work, because teamwork is the basis for both
methods: PBL and TBL. As a naturally normal phase after the complex work, reflection and peer
assessment is an essential part of this course.

BENEFITS:This course is a real example of beneficial teacher training because it brings different values,
development of:

cultural awareness, creative expression, practical work, team work, problem-solving logical thinking,
language skills, presentation skills, digital skills, media and information literacy, active citizenship and
entrepreneurship skills.
