Active and research-based approach. The teacher is giving an introduction course on the research theme. The students then set-up a research from beginning to end. Via this research approach they analyze the learning activity of adults in a particular context. At the end of the course, the students present the results of their analysis. During the process each groupe receives two times feedback.
Evaluation methods
The students are evaluated on basis of the quality of the analyses done on the learning activity of adults. During the first course, they get an overview of the different evaluation criteria for the summative assessment. During the course the students receive formative feedback on their data-collection, their analysis and the presentation of their results. The active participation of the student in the research process is taken into account for the summative evaluation.
If student failes the course in session 1, session 2 will be an individual task
