Developing critical thinking using project-based learning

Greg Whitby speaks to Rosei Espedido, Maths and Science teacher at Parramatta Marist High School, about the school’s approach to project-based learning. The school is currently collaborating with a school in the United States on a science project that looks metaphorically at the bridges that connect education and the way education is moving.

Espedido elaborates on the changes in the way the students learn and what the successes of the project indicate about future teacher practice. Find out more in the video below.
