KaAMS model of PBL and its relationship to reflective thinking:

































When students are faced with a perplexing problem, reflective thinking helps them to become more aware of their learning progress, choose appropriate strategies to explore a problem, and identify the ways to build the knowledge they need to solve the problem. The KaAMS model of PBL incorporates various components to prompt students' reflective thinking during the learning process. The lesson plans:
◦Provide teacher questions designed to prompt students to identify and clarify overall and subordinate problems.
◦Provide many opportunities to engage students in gathering information to look for possible causes and solutions.
◦Provide ideas and activity sheets to help students evaluate the evidence they gather.
◦Provide questions that prompt students to consider alternatives and implications of their ideas.
◦Provide questions and activities that prompt students to draw conclusions from the evidence they gathered and pose solutions.
◦Provide opportunities for students to choose and implement the best alternative.
◦Encourage students to monitor and reevaluate their results and findings throughout the entire unit.
