Q: Is PBL always done in a group based project?

12/8/2011

Frequently, we see Project or Problem-Based Learning implemented in a group setting, where students are learning how to collaborate and work together. But it doesn't have to be that way. 

While we feel that it is important to purposefully group students in ways that will help promote community, collaboration, and learning in our classes (an art in itself, some days), some projects lend themselves to individual work by individual students. A student in high school who is working on a career interest may find himself working alone on the project as he collaborates with other mentors beyond the school walls. At other times, perhaps a particular student in elementary or middle school would be best served working individually. 

As we look at individual student needs and at individual learning goals, teachers will make the best determination for their own learners.
