TED 5314 - Current Topics Science EducationStudent PBL Products- OverviewEach student is tasked with analyzing, deconstructing, and reflecting on an appropriate grade level problem-based learning curiculum that focuses on a current topic in real world science and focuses on specific concepts found in science. The purpose is to have you demonstrate an understanding of problem-based learning as associated with concept- based science education that is appropriate for your current classroom. Each student will develop a MS PowerPoint presentation that is integrated with MS Word. You must have the following slides along with your content information: title slide, purpose, summary and references. You should have between 8-10 total slides. For each PPT slide, use a bulleted approach with a good layout that is clear and understandable and that provides purposeful content from which to present. For each slide (excluding the title slide), you will need to supply a researched position that will be the background supporting information for your slides. You should prepare these support statements as researched positions in MS Word and paste the information into the Notes area within the appropriate slide. For the reference slides, you will create a list of references by author and tile (or Web site), and put a complete bibliography in APA style in the Notes area of this slide. All presentation slides could be created in MS PowerPoint and all supporting information should be created in MS Word and put into the Notes area of the appropriate slide. You will upload one PPT File into the assignments area for grading. Each Student will post their materials in the appropriate area in WebCT so that will encompass the development of a beginning problem-based learning curriculum unit following the provided outline.Each student will have 10-15 minutes to present their materials and to field questions from classmates.
