When Students Take the Lead: Enhancing Quality and Relevance of Higher Education through Innovation in Student-Centred Problem-Based Active Learning

These are proceedings from the PBLMD Conference organized as part of WP7: Communication and Dissemination of Project Results within ERASMUS+ PBLMD project (www.pblmd.aau.dk). Conference theme : Student-centred problem-based active learning contributes substantially to the enhancement of students’ competitiveness and employability. It also contributes to research, allowing academic staff to engage in research-based teaching, bringing the latest business and scientific developments directly to the students. Student-centred problem-based active learning encourages students to work independently and constructively using academic staff as mentors and supervisors. It is a learning philosophy according to which the learning process is organized in such a way that the students actively engage in finding problems and answers to these problems; student-centred active learning also encourages students to pursue their own learning objectives and paths.
