IDWBL Project outcomes
200 teachers trained to use web resources in a
clasroom 500 Polish assignments stored in WAD
for further use 100 of these assignments
translated to English What teachers learned a
method to develop and implement teaching and
learning that encourages collaboration between
students, stimulates the development of higher
order thinking skills, and is a catalyst for
interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
Assignments are open ended and pupils have to
work towards a product. negotiation as part of
the method often pupils can negotiate the
product they have to deliver because usually
there are some degrees of freedom. In this way,
negotiation is connected with the approach to
learning.
