I like the idea of project based learning. I think it will end up being a more lasting method of instruction.
I am interested in how they will still teach the breadth of the subject matter.
For example, you can get a lot of work done with linear algebra without really understanding vector spaces.
I assume this method of instruction would require more teacher-student interaction to be effective. The teacher could review the student progress on a project and make a note of where the application of a new technique would be helpful. Guiding the student towards a more complete understanding of a subject.
- danieltillett 11y agoYes you are right. This sort of teaching is very effective, but very expensive. The reason we have the current system we do is because it is the cheapest solution that somewhat works.
- CardenB 11y agoExcept our current solution has become very expensive. Perhaps we need to move out of our local maxima of education if people are willing to pay so much.
- danieltillett 11y agoYou can basically do this now if you really want. There are heaps of adjunct lecturers who will provide one-on-one or small group tutorials for cash. Wave a few thousand dollars a term in front of some starving adjunct and you will get exactly the education you desire.
