Jenny Sjöholm; Kristina Trygg – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
This article looks at a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach that aims to engage students in sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning. Drawing on CBL, we focus on how living labs -- the idea of using a city as a site for user-driven innovation and development -- can be used as a site and methodology in education and research…

Pavel V. Kolesnichenko; Axl Eriksson; Linnea Lindh; Donatas Zigmantas; Jens Uhlig – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Investigating the optical properties of various chemical compounds using UV-vis spectrophotometers is an essential part of education in chemistry. However, commercial spectrophotometers are usually treated as "magic black boxes", where the dominant majority of optical elements are hidden "under the hood". This often limits…

Eva Hammar Chiriac – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Even though using group examinations aligns well with the epistemology of problem-based learning (PBL), the dilemma of using joint learning while simultaneously fulfilling individual assessment requirements in higher education make group examinations difficult to use. In this study, the aim was to explore whether an individual reflection paper…
