Teaching in Higher Education through the Use of Variation: Examples from Distillation, Physics and Process Dynamics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fraser, Duncan; Linder, Cedric – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
Contemporary learning research and development that is embedded in primary and secondary schooling is increasingly acknowledging the significance of a variation approach for enhancing the possibility of learning. However, the variation approach has so far attracted very little attention in higher education, but where it has, the results have been…
