Refining EBL for Scientific Problem Solving
This project aims to provide a deep evaluation and refinement of a scientific skills course, which was changed to an EBL format in 2006-07, so that the module may develop in ways that enhance student learning. Students' experiences and opinions in the 2006-7 and 2007-8 cohorts will be analysed to improve not only delivery but the ways in which student feedback is obtained. The barriers to wholehearted student participation and learning will be identified, in the expectation that they can be decreased so that all students find effective ways of improving their confidence, knowledge and skills. The current set of activities will be critically assessed to determine whether they can be improved or replaced. The insight gained will be disseminated such that it can assist others wishing to use EBL for scientific topics.
