Not a causal research study (and the author explicitly states this). I’m curious: are you arguing for more high-stakes testing?

Focus on students and try to tune out all that noise - students know your worth 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

He wouldn’t need to if the country offered universal health care like he wants to.

The easiest way to combat this is to create a scheduling link (calendly/boomerang) and make meeting with professors part of the grading system.

In an age of a plethora of scheduling tools it’s bizarre the common standard is to ask students to just show up a seemingly random time. All we need is a calendy link!

Publishers often make the choice to go with paid narrators instead of authors.

Do you think all material and every subject should be delivered via direct instruction?

I’ve found in dialogue with chatgpt has pushed my thinking tremendously. It amplifies my writing, critical thinking and creativity when used well.

I agree with the sentiment but you don’t want to crowd them out. You want to notice and accept them before moving on to noticing the magic of the world as you articulate so well.

Every morning? Doesn’t it get repetitive?

To me, it depends on the angles he creates on his serve. When he starts to go flat for power he is a lot less dangerous.

Encouraging students to ask questions of themselves and if the world is harmful??

Did I ever claim that PBL offered more of those things than DI? PBL offers opportunity for interpersonal, intrapersonal and critical thinking skill development. It’s not as effective for content development, but again, I never said it was.

You continue to use straw man arguments. We get it, you hate PBL and love direct instruction. Congrats.

Lack of guidance and feedback is not the same as PBL - this is a straw man argument you are using. That article is 13 years old and says “guided learning is better than no guidance at all”. That doesn’t make PBL a failure - it mean the solution is somewhere in the middle.

No axe to grind but “PBL” is harmful to learning. Got it - sweeping generalizations and lack of nuance usually signal an agenda.

Having a full structure is not the same as implementing it in the can bring in scaffolding for each student as needed. Anyways, seems like you have an axe to grind here and are not really trying to engage in dialogue.

You have to have a fully scaffolded structure in place first before you do anything else. Then you apply that structure as needed with students. So you start with direct instruction and then slowly remove pieces of it as needed.

These aren’t exclusive they are exclusionary, haha.

Schools can do PBL while also be mindful of how much structure a given student made need. That’s a core best practice of PBL. It’s not exclusive, they just aren’t implementing PBL to its fullest potential.
