Folks-
I am trying to identify the major approaches or programs in this field. I
am wondering if there are respected approaches other than the
inquiry-based/project oriented model (i.e. the YouthLearn.Org approach).
It seems to me that most good after school tech programs use project-based
learning as the core of their program.
I have also identified the 5th Dimension Program
(http://129.171.53.1/blantonw/5dClhse/clearingh1.html) - an activity system that mixes the play, education, peer interaction,
and affiliation.
Are there any other major schools of thought for after-school tech
programming?
If project-based learning is the prevailing approach, what are the major
threads or sub-trends within it?
I hope this makes sense.
George
