PROCESS V. PRODUCT

As we end our Mid-term lessons, I was caught off guard with this particular topic that discusses the importance of process and product. It is only through this Edtech2 class that my conviction between these two important elements in learning was strengthened. I admit that I was more particular on the product for this is the basis for any graded outputs. But throughout the lesson, I was able to put up a different point of view with regards to process vs. product.

I learned that the inquiry-based or discovery approach is given importance in resource-based projects. This would mean that the “actors & actresses” in every learning path is the students themselves. This requires that the students, individually or cooperatively with members of his group, relate gathered information to the ‘real world’ which in return produce a more dynamic learner. How magical and essential is that?

Moreover, it is nice to note that the process is given more importance than the project product. It doesn’t matter for example if each group comes up with a different answer to the problem. What matters are the varied sources of information, the line of thinking and the ability to agree in defense of their answers and it’s something to discern especially for us, future educators. Let’s put into our minds and hearts that we are the key to every success of our students. How about putting aside our judgements and expectations and dwell more on the idea of teaching, touching and transforming the hearts and minds of the young’s? The challenge is ours to take!
