According to several studies, the act of blogging develops a sense of voice and foster critical and synthesizing skills. Blogging encourages students to actively and reflectively engage in knowledge sharing. Blogs endow them with a sense of authorship and help them to develop numerous strategies to cope with difficulties encountered in the learning process. This process is intended to increase their motivation, self-confidence, empathy and personal growth. One of the goals in implementing this pedagogical strategy is to offer students more opportunities to develop their soft skills necessary for future employment.

Thanks to this project, we have learned to think more widely and analyze the problem from different angles. Our first project is called "FSS: Fast Shopping System". The problem we tried to figure out how to solve was the queue at the markets. Our idea was based on tags that should be put on each product, as well as scanners, which should stand along with the terminals at the cash registers. This system has practically no drawbacks, but there are many advantages. It will attract customers and facilitate their purchase process.

PBL, the new approach to learning allows all participants of the learning process to grow faster. Also, the article presents in detail the 5 stages of forming of a team, types of teams and, of course, the roles that are shared among the members. The foundation of every great team is a direction that energizes, orients, and engages its members. Teams cannot be inspired if they don’t know what they’re working toward and don’t have explicit goals. Those goals should be challenging (modest ones don’t motivate) but not so difficult that the team becomes dispirited. They also must be consequential: People have to care about achieving a goal, whether because they stand to gain extrinsic rewards, like recognition, pay, and promotions; or intrinsic rewards, such as satisfaction and a sense of meaning.

PBL is still at an early stage and it is developing to this day. It comes with its pros and cons, still it has a big succes over the traditional educational system. Studies show promising changes of students of PBL, and the experience of implementing this system proves that it is a challenging, yet worth change of curriculum from the traditional one. With the time and its popularity it also became relevant here in Moldova as it became part of several Universities here. The succes of it depends on the students’ adaptability and determination to make this program a succesful one. Resursă electronică 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
