Student-generated learning objectives and curricular innovation

Comparing student-generated learning needs with faculty objectives in PBL cases in dental education.

The purpose of this study was to compare learning need reports generated by students during their investigation of a problem-based learning (PBL) case with the faculty-identified learning objectives established for it. Four PBL cases facilitated by four group tutors were selected for comparison. The student-generated learning needs were collected for each and were compared to the faculty-specif...

Student-generated e-learning for clinical education.

BACKGROUND Within clinical education, e-learning facilitates a standardised learning experience to augment the clinical experience while enabling learner and teacher flexibility. With the shift of students from consumers to creators, student-generated content is expanding within higher education; however, there is sparse literature evaluating the impact of student-developed e-learning within cl...

A Framework for Analyzing Interdisciplinary Tasks: Implications for Student Learning and Curricular Design

The national conversation around undergraduate science instruction is calling for increased interdisciplinarity. As these calls increase, there is a need to consider the learning objectives of interdisciplinary science courses and how to design curricula to support those objectives. We present a framework that can help support interdisciplinary design research. We developed this framework in an...

Active Learning Through Student Generated Questions in Physics Experimentation Classrooms

In hopes of helping students become more active and intellectually engaged learners while conducting physics experiments, a multiple-choice question-generation learning strategy was introduced to supplement traditional lab reports on the premise that only a fairly minor modification of traditional laboratory exercises was required. In total 39 university freshmen participated in the study durin...
