Mind Mapping

Teachers as:
Designers and Managers
of a TBL/PBL Learning Cycle
and
Learners as:
Self-directed and Creators of Content
during a TBL/PBL Learning Cycle

13 Reasons why TBL and PBL works
Flips the classroom, and drives the learning cycle with a meaningful goal (Online or Face-2-Face)
Creates positive learning dynamics (move from Teacher-Oriented Learning to Learner-Driven Learning)
Promotes existing Skills Sets and Develops new skills (Research, Content Creation, Curation, 4Cs)
Incorporates the concept of *Montage* into the learning process (Design, Chunking, and Storyboarding)
Deals with personal Learning Preferences (Respect the preferences learners bring to the table)
Deals with Differentiated Learning (Not just about language levels – Diversity, Social Capital, and Inclusion)
Takes advantage of Experential Learning (Life experiences, Know-how, and Skills Set brought to the table)
Keeps learners focused and Results-oriented (Keep all eyes on the goal of the Learning Cycle)
Lead learners to Self-directed Learning (Learners taking responsibility for their own learning results)
Puts life into the course book (Add some meaningful learning into the process)
Gets away from Pre-determined Outcomes + Prescribed Information (Make learning REAL for them)
Teaches learners (indirectly) how TBL and PBL works (Prepare learners for real life)
Supports the slow change from Instructivism to Constructivism (Learners become the creators)

Despite its complexity, inquiry-based learning can be easier on teachers, partly because it transfers some responsibilities from teachers to students, but mostly because releasing authority engages students.
Inquiry-based learning is more than asking a student what they want to know. It’s about triggering curiosity. And activating a student’s curiosity is a far more important and complex goal than mere information delivery and rote learning.

Ask yourself - What’s my TPACK? – REFLECT, and find the answer.

This is what TBL and PBL is all about – and an RMM is that powerful and engaging tool teachers can use to steer any learning cycle
Lead learners on a journey of adventure and discovery in their learning and self-development process.
– and to become independent and self-directed.

Ready-made Mind Maps for the
TBL and PBL Student Driven Classroom
(Integrated Meaningful Learning and Self-Directed Learning)
Five Characteristics of Meaningful Learning in a TBL or PBL Context:
Active Learning (Learner Oriented and Learner Driven)
Collaborative Learning (Learner-2-Learner)
Constructive Learning (Product Creation leads to Content Creation by the Learner)
Authentic Learning (Realia and Current- Something the learner can use NOW and in the future)
Goal-Directed Learning (A clear plan to focus on and attainable goals within a pre-given timeframe)

360 ° TBL / PBL Learning Cycle Lesson Plan Overview
Learning Objectives and Outcomes

What is a *product*? (Learners as Content Creators – not Teachers or the Textbook)
Who chooses the product? (Voice and Choice = Learner Agency and Efficacy )
NOTE: Reversed Design is extremely important when creating a TBL or PBL Learning Cycle
- and when choosing a TBL or PBL product.
Whether it‘s TBL or PBL
– the outcome MUST be a product
(Can the product be assessed?)

Learners can print the RMM out
(Personal choice)
Learners can rewrite the RMM
(Personal need or choice)
Learners research each chunk
Take notes
Present results in class (Speaking)
