Our favorite PBL project was “My Healthy Self Project”. We chose this PBL because the teacher incorporated a lot of different aspects pertaining to the topic of health and what is healthy is to her students. The students were able to be a part of the process of the PBL. They first discussed what healthy means to them and then based on their opinions, the teacher was able to provide out-of-the-classroom learning opportunities by going on various fieldtrips and bringing professionals to the school (showing different health-based professions that children could pursue if they are interested in health). In addition, the topic at hand was open-ended and very relevant to everyone in the classroom.
This PBL project uses different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The project uses comprehension because the students need to understand the topic of health that the professionals are speaking about. Students also use application by applying what they have learned in the classroom that they can then use outside of school. Students also use analysis because they understand why health is important in their daily lives.
To improve the “My Healthy Self Project” PBL, we recommend that they encompass the two upper levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, synthesis and evaluation, to help the students understand that project even more.
