Laboratory and project based learning in the compulsory course Biological Chemistry enhancing collaboration and technical communication between groups
7th International CONCEIVE DESIGN IMPLEMENT OPERATE Conference
2011
2011
Biological Chemistry is a 2nd semester course. A practical/theoretical project
concerning antimicrobial resistance in retail meats was introduced. The
students work in groups each responsible for a subtopic. All groups collect
meat samples based on criteria defined in the class. The samples are subjected
to the same set of experiments. Results are shared between groups; meaning that
the groups do not present their own results, but results related to their topic
on behalf of the entire class. The concept supported CDIO learning and a better
understanding between theoretical and practical aspects was obtained. Moreover,
the engagement in laboratory work improved.
