Giajenthiran Velmurugan; Jacob Gorm Davidsen – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Supervision in higher education (HE) often balances the tension between fostering student autonomy and providing sufficient guidance, especially within undergraduate programs. This paper explores an under-researched area: the dynamics of group supervision in undergraduate education, specifically how students challenge their supervisor's expertise.…

Higuera-Martínez, Oscar Iván; Corazza, Giovanni Emanuele; Fernández-Samacá, Liliana – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This article presents how Problem- and Project-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering education can exploit the theoretical framework of the Space-Time (ST)-Continuum, according to which educational contexts can be classified in terms of the tightness vs. looseness of the relevant conceptual space S and available time T. By crossing these two…
