A Practical Guide to Understanding and Implementing Challenge-Based Learning

Zusatztext

This open access book maps the role of challenge-based learning (CBL) in the transformation of higher education pedagogy, towards being sector-informed as well as student-driven. CBL democratises the process of learning by repositioning students as drivers, who are empowered to make decisions on course content, assess needs in the real world and develop opinions. Teachers monitor student learning and engagement and mentor students to express their needs. Chapters showcase existing CBL practices in different settings, and include case studies which detail the practical application of CBL in multiple contexts. The authors develop an emerging theory of practical learning based on the insights of the curriculum designers, practitioners and students. The book will be of interest to researchers, teacher educators/trainers and research supervisors in higher education.
