Michael Carroll; Ana-Maria Tomova; Helen R. Hunter – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an effective teaching method in many fields, in particular the medical disciplines. Clinical embryology deals with all aspects of assisted conception including insemination and embryo transfer. Clinical embryologists deal with daily issues that require troubleshooting and problem solving. The aim of this study was…

Thomas-Seale, L. E. J.; Kanagalingam, Sanjeevan; Kirkman-Brown, J. C.; Attallah, M. M.; Espino, D. M.; Shepherd, D. E. T. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Additive manufacturing (AM) is projected to require 60,000 jobs in the UK by 2025, but there are a series of barriers to the industrial application. One of the most problematic is non-comprehensive knowledge in design for AM (DfAM). This study aims to test the effect of two undergraduate DfAM teaching approaches. A visual and audial approach…

Beth Crosbie; Trevor Gerhardt; Joel Montgomery – Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 2025
Purpose: Using a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach, this paper examines whether internships can stand as a viable alternative to Higher Degree Apprenticeships (HDAs) within the UK Higher Education (HE) context. It was a process that was undertaken to identify work-integrated schemes as a part of a curriculum portfolio transformation project.…

Horn, Margaux A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…

McQuade, Robert; Ventura-Medina, Esther; Wiggins, Sally; Anderson, Tony – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
With the increasing complexity of the engineering role, today's graduates must be capable of confronting both technical and societal problems; underpinned by effective teamwork at their core. Problem-based learning has been implemented in engineering to better prepare students for modern industry. However, limited research has examined the complex…

Gibbons, Jenny – Teaching in Higher Education, 2019
Reflective practice is an essential component of experiential learning and is embedded within the curriculum at York Law School, where the undergraduate law programme is delivered using a problem-based learning model. Using qualitative data from a survey of the markers of one of the summative reflective tasks, and Bernstein's evaluative rules as a…

Sarkar, Mahbub; Overton, Tina; Thompson, Christopher D.; Rayner, Gerry – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Graduate employability is a key issue for higher education as new graduates face a highly competitive and rapidly changing employment sector. To maximise their likelihood of employment, graduates need to be able to demonstrate the skills and attributes most valued by employers. Employers, however, have long criticised the ability of graduates to…

Stocks, Claire; Trevitt, Chris; Hughes, Joseph – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2018
The potential of action learning (AL) for academic development has not received a lot of attention. Building from two case studies in which AL has been used in different ways in research-intensive universities in Australia and the UK, we suggest that the approach may be of benefit to developers in the changing landscape in which they are expected…
