Context based learning and results application via project based learning in real situation of physics classroom at high school in Vietnam

Abstract

A new trend in the field of teaching nowadays is context-based learning which is embedded with real life of learners; our education system is not an exception. This method will stimulate learners' inspiration towards school subjects, especially natural sciences domains because today's students tend to less interested into these fields. In this tendency, learning via project plays a crucial role when an in-class learning activity is connected with real diversification of life to help learners to find themselves the meaningfulness of their study. Lessons taught should not in its preset and bound sequence of curriculum instead they are linked with real-life situations in which learners will be able to discover their capabilities and express their own life experiences rather than just staying in class and working out scholastic exercises. This article presents some results obtained by applying the context based learning via project learning in high schools in Vietnam.

Keywords: Context based learning, project-based learning, high school, energy, real-life situation of learners.
