Abstract |
|
|
| Genius Hour (GH) is an approach to learning that gives the students opportunities to explore their passions and interests, and it can be used in the classroom to support self-directed studying. It is an open-ended education that makes the learners solve problems they are curious about. Also, it is an inquiry-based learning (IBL) strategy. Students are guided by their interests to design their own path of study for one hour of the school day. The student projects are facilitated by the teacher to ensure they are on task (Harrington, 2017, p. 2). The roots of G.H came from Google’s 20 percent time policy. Google encouraged its employees to have one day of the week to work on the projects that interested them. This policy led to have great innovations, such as Google News, Google Earth and Gmail (Juliani, 2015, p. 15). |
