Why Student Centred Learning? Find out in the SHE Summer Course
“This PBL Summer Course is a first step to become acquainted with problem-based learning and, more importantly, the educational principles behind this system. The focus lies besides “WHAT are we doing in PBL” on the next level “WHY student centred educational formats”. In this way the course is relevant not only to those who would like to make an immediate switch to PBL as an integrated educational system, but also to those who prefer a gradual transition of their course programmes towards more student centred teaching strategies. The aim of these teaching methods is fostering deep learning and understanding which can be expressed by a deep approach to learning.
The SHE Summer Course is for many people a life changing experience and first step into a career in health professions education. Maastricht University and more specific it’s Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Science was, after McMaster University in Canada, the second university in the world to implement PBL as the dominant educational strategy in medical education.
In addition to its long-lasting experience with PBL, Maastricht University has always been eager to further develop this educational method. The popular SHE Summer Course has been further developed just like the Maastricht educational model did in the past 40 years.
