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.

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..

attitudes, methods etc.)
What do you need to keep and develop further?
What do you need to add to your current way of
teaching?
