Integrating challenge-based learning into a mobile classroom environment for Jordanian camp refugees: a position paper

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › Academic

Abstract

Jordan hosts one of the largest refugee populations, many of whom still live in camps. Until now, they have had limited access to the labor market. One of the reasons for this is their limited ability to meet the demands of the labor market. The purpose of this article is to explore ways to better support refugees in Jordan to develop appropriate skills to improve their access to the labor market and their social well-being. To this end, relevant literature on the refugee situation in Jordan, the current labor market, and refugees' skill levels and development was reviewed. Based on this, an integrative framework for appropriate skills development for refugees in Jordan was developed using a mobile classroom and challenge-based learning. This framework is being implemented and tested in Jordan in the form of the Edubox learning environment.
