PYP Section
- Transdisciplinary Learning, by Paul Ackers and Eloise Sheiko: Transdisciplinary Learning
An approach to curriculum integration which dissolves the boundaries between the conventional disciplines and organizes teaching and learning around the construction of meaning in the context of real-world problems or themes.
- Playbased Learning, by Jared Belworthy and Thomas Whitten: Play-based Learning
Young children’s play allows them to explore, identify, negotiate, take risks and create meaning. The intellectual and cognitive benefits of playing have been well documented. Children who engage in quality play experiences are more likely to have well-developed memory skills, language development, and are able to regulate their behaviour, leading to enhanced school adjustment and academic learning (Bodrova & Leong, 2005).
- Assessment in the PYP, by Kavisha JP and Krysta Hauer: Assessment in the PYP
Assessment is something that occurs every day in some fashion. Students learn in different ways, at different rates, and at different times and the result is considered a critical element that influences teacher decision-making and guides student learning.
MYP Section
- Approaches to learning (ATL) skills in IB education, by Joanne Moore: ATL skills
With the focus being on subject contents, ATL skills are often overlooked. Yet, research shows that not only ATL skills improve learning, but they also help students beyond secondary and tertiary education.
- Assessment in the MYP, by Camille LeProu: Assessment in the MYP
The aim of MYP assessment is to support and encourage student learning. The MYP approach to assessment recognises the importance of assessing not only the products but also the process, of learning.
