Recursive Redesign: Project-based Learning for Teacher Candidates
Research, Practice, and Innovations in Teacher Education During a Virtual Age
(2022)
Abstract
This chapter describes in detail the use of a semester-long project for students learning the foundations of education. This chapter takes the readers on a journey through successful reiterations of the project to meet the needs of students in traditional face-to-face, fully online course and hybrid courses. Over the years, the instructors have improved the project through slow expansion, piloting, research studies, and student feedback. Teacher candidates need to understand and value the notion of lifelong learning as being an essential part of teaching, and the recursive redesign of this project demonstrates their instructors' strong belief in improvement through the learning process. It is only through recursive redesign of our courses and activities will we be able to meet the ever changing and unique needs of our students.
