Discovery-Based Learning
Discovery-Based Learning
Discovery-based learning is just one of several 'student centered' instructional
methodologies being implemented in classrooms today. Other methods that fall
within this style of curriculum design are inquiry-based learning, problem-based
learning, research-based learning, and project-based learning to name a few.
Although very subtle differences determine which technical category a particular
implementation may belong in, they all provide an 'active
learning' environment where students learn by doing.
STEPMT will provide funding in the form of faculty reassign time to enable STEM departments to rework courses to include discovery-based and other active learning techniques.
