Bite-sized EBL Dr. Susan Jamieson Senior University Teacher Faculty of Medicine
Possible constraints on using EBL in your teaching? • time • class size • accommodation • resources • course structure
What is the minimum requirement for EBL? • learning that is based on enquiry • to enquire: • To seek information/To ask for information/To make a search or investigation [Collins Dictionary] • learning that is based on seeking/asking/searching for information • Infers active learning/infers use of resources
Propose: I It should be possible to incorporate the basic principles of EBL in most, if not all, teaching. T The learning may, to a degree, be less student-directed than in more open-ended EBL … … but the elements of enquiry, learning, fun, and use of resources (other than the teacher) should still be achievable.
Bite-sized EBL should: • include some form of enquiry by the students • facilitate learning • be fun and/or interesting (to motivate) • encourage students to identify & use resources for learning
Experience of Bite-sized EBL on Infectious Diseases • Choose a topic for your group (pick a number from 1-5) • Identify someone to record the group’s answers and someone to feed these back to the class • Share out relevant articles/items amongst group members • Scan your allocated articles/items and highlight anything that answers one of the questions in the handout; and anything else you find useful/interesting/informative, etc. • Record answers to the questions • Briefly feedback to class
Questions • What infectious disease are you learning about? • Which famous person suffers/ed from this disease? • What causes the disease? • What is the effect of this disease on the tissues/organs/ systems of the body? • Is there a cure and, if so, what is it? • How big a problem is this disease? (public health stats/ curability?) • What was the most/least useful resource? Why? • What was the most/least reliable resource? Why? • Identify at least one topic for further exploration/one unanswered question
