ENQUIRY BASED LEARNING

UCD is currently involved in several student centered approaches to teaching and learning. These include

- Enquiry- Based Learning,

- Problem-Based Learning

- Large Class Projects.

What is Enquiry-Based Learning?
Within an enquiry-based learning environment, learning is centred on the student and driven by enquiry. Students work in small groups, with a member of staff as group facilitator. They are presented with a scenairo which acts as a starting point and generates questions and issues

The library has launched a Webpage examining these approaches and also how the Library can support PBL.
