PBL COURSE & Transfer to Classroom PracticE
When asked about the importance of attending the PBL course all teachers were unanimous stating the Teacher Academy course helped them improve the quality of their teaching and use new methodologies that allowed students to be more active, creative and autonomous in their lessons. These are their testimonies:

Using the project-based learning methodology, students build their own knowledge, are more autonomous and as they work in groups, share difficulties and all together can overcome them. The teacher becomes the protagonist of the learning action and becomes only the facilitator. I find that students have learned and internalized the concepts of sustainable consumption and consumerism. Concluding, classes are more dynamic, students are more interventionist and committed and manage to solve the problems that arise.
By applying the project methodology, we are developing contextualized teaching in our environment, guiding students to extrapolate to the global. We have developed intentional pedagogical teaching that ensures students a significant acquisition of skills that enable them to perform functions that are currently unknown. This methodology involves the student in the teaching-learning process, making him or her responsible for it. The student learns in action by doing. The teacher becomes a qualified interlocutor. The project methodology ensures a well-defined and focused collaborative and cooperative work. It makes classes more dynamic and allows the teacher to evaluate the process and give permanent feedback to the student.
