Curiosity-Based Learning (CBL)

 

Also known as Inquiry-based learning or Project-based learning or PBL, Curiosity-Based Learning is an approach that has proven to increase students’ abilities to question-solve using a student-centered delivery of instruction. While nothing can replace the time needed for systematic math and language skill acquisition, learning opportunities to apply these skills are critical for developing problem solving skills. In CBL, a “problem” or question is presented and students must use their prior knowledge and skills to build direct and meaningful correlations to solve the problem.

Fine Arts are explored in combination or simultaneously in real life contexts. Through questions and questioning, teachers and students match project objectives with the SLATE Education’s Specific Learner Expectations.

 

 Projects bring a whole new enthusiasm to the classroom. The scope and breadth of projects can vary from days to weeks to months. Because students are engaged in projects that are “real” to them – about the real world, their world – their level of concentration and application increase, as do their learning results.

 

As they say in PBL, “The Question is the Answer” because questions and questioning are the forerunners of understanding. Engaging students in the learning process has astonishing consequences: attendance and academic achievement increase, and students’ overall positive interest in school and learning skyrocket.
