In my opinion, lack of clear instructions as well as too

much freedom make phenomenon based learning

challenging.

You shouldn’t be discouraged if in the beginning you feel that you can’t really get anywhere. You might need to work hard

to see things in broader contexts.

käyttö luvalla

Phenomena are another, different way of learning. That’s

why you need to work hard, and not only read books.

Learning is effective and you remember well the things you’

ve learned..

Closing reflection

What do you need to get rid of? (structures, attitudes, methods etc.)

What do you need to keep and develop further?

What do you need to add to your current way of teaching?
