Research and Community Informed Practice

I'm two weeks into being independent and what do you know I'm already two weeks behind. So as per usual I am procrastinating and have got side tracked. The video below I will show to the kids at school tomorrow as we are currently goal setting with them and encouraging growth mindset. 

We started measurement this week in maths and have been using problem based learning opportunities and relating back to their own world. This got me thinking can I / we carry problem based learning across other curriculum areas? Have I done any research on it? NO so what do I know about the background of how effective it is.  Maybe .... this could be my focus for my literature review????

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 

I have watched Carol Dweck's talks and videos before, but watching this one again is relevant to how I am now thinking about my inquiry model for challenging children and their learning. How they think about themselves as learners in life, not just at school.

Ever wondered why kids say they’re bored at school, or why they stop trying when the work gets harder? Educationalist Carol Dweck explains how the wrong kind of praise actually *harms* young people.
