Emphasis in professional education is put on skills for learning and high-level professional knowledge. This means that acquiring knowledge and its application in a real international context has become increasingly relevant.
RePro stands for Real-life Problems that the industry world experiences and students reconstruct in the classroom. • Learning is as an open-ended process requiring active engagement from the learner’s part.
Student-centered learning is based on student’s own motivation and needs for learning. • Teacher’s role is to facilitate the planning, and provide guidance, feedback and evaluation of the student learning based on the particular learning needs and abilities of students.
The underlying idea in this learning method is that learning becomes deeper when the subject is more relevant to the students’ interests and aspirations and when they are given the opportunity to actively engage in the creation of their knowledge.
Any company of your team choice! Research
The session steps When working on problem in a group it is highly recommended to use the seven following steps to achieve the best results in view of learning: These steps are: • clarifying terms and concepts • defining the problem • analyzing the problem • defining and formulating the goals • brainstorming • reporting and integration It is also recommended to choose a team leader to coordinate the team work and secretary to make notes which should be distributed among all team members (e.g. via e-mail). Remember! Work as a team and share and integrate tasks and knowledge!
