| Title | Education Exchange Engagement by Design: Problem or Inquiry-Based Learning? |
| Category | Organisational Development |
| Overview | Transform your module into a hotbed of student-led discovery!
In our drive to move students beyond simple recall towards deep, critical understanding, two robust methodologies are often discussed: Problem-Based and Inquiry-Based Learning. While frequently used interchangeably, they offer distinct pathways for sparking curiosity and fostering both analytical and practical skills. This usually leaves educators with a crucial question: Which is the right approach for my students and my subject?
Join us for a practical 90-minute workshop created to demystify these two teaching strategies. We will move past the jargon to provide a clear framework, helping you decide which model best suits your specific needs. Through deep discussion and hands-on exercises, you will leave with the clarity and confidence to choose the right approach for your students and a practical plan to implement your first inquiry or problem-based learning activity.
The session will also be hybrid.
Refreshments will not be served at this event. |
