The chapter 8 presents a discussion of required curriculum and other issues in implementing the project approach. It addresses the issue of using the project approach to meet required curriculum goals or academic standards. It also addresses how early literacy experiences and other academic skills can be strengthened during project work. Project work includes involving parents, employing technology, and using the project approach with specific populations, including children with special needs and second-language learners. The chapter also presents ways in which administrators can support project work.
This chapter also addresses some of the main issues related to implementation of the project approach, depending on the philosophy of the school and other issues concern curriculum requirements, achievement standards, and integration of early literacy; involvement of parents in projects, and the use of technology in projects. Other issues involve the use of projects with specific populations like children with special needs and second-language learners, and the support of administrators for the project approach.
Implementing projects teachers realize how they can support the development of knowledge, skills, and dispositions of young investigators; they then begin to integrate project work into their curriculum.
Along this book we have seen the project approach change teachers and teaching because it affects all areas of teaching. That is learning and teaching continues to be adventures for all investigators, young and old alike.
As a general conclusion, it is important to say that implementing investigation approach to the curriculum provides the children more opportunities to learn, because it provides several ways to approximate to knowledge trough children experiences, doing learning process more active and participative for the students and because of that more meaningful.
In this methodology, the students and teachers learn together because they both are involved in a process that involves them in a series of activities that implicate critical thinking: teachers must think about what their students’ needs, interests, skills to develop and how to integrate the investigation approach to the curriculum. They also must think how integrate parents in the activities. So, this project permits that parents can learn too.
For the students it is very favorable too since the investigation help to develop many skills in the students and facilitates knowledge
