Description
This presentation outlines a new course being planned at the University of Twente which will close the gap between the scholarship of teaching and learning and on-the-ground educational practice. Using aspects of the challenge-based learning framework, maths/engineering students will identify an educational challenge, carry out a literature review and produce an evidence-based product of concrete practical use to a stakeholder, a lecturer of mathematics. The students will become familiar with educational theory and literature relevant to their challenge and will learn how to engage with educational academic literature. Teachers of mathematics, themselves not scholars of teaching and learning and without the time to carry out deep reading of the relevant literature, will gain substantively from students’ products. We hope to pilot this course soon.| Period | 1 Nov 2022 |
