Project
With the technique, Project, students who have completed a task are allowed to focus on a chosen topic in-depth, either themselves or as part of a group.
Why use this technique?
Project can help enrich the core learning experience for students and help address the issue: what should students do when they have finished a core task?
Notes and tips
Whilst student-led learning of this kind isn’t, typically, the most effective or efficient approach to teaching, from time-to-time, it can help motivate students. It can also stimulate extra interest and enjoyment, which is never a bad thing.
