Activity type: Group research project
Aim: Development of analytical, team work, brainstorming and time management skills, and subject knowledge.
Description: Students were given articles to read allowing them to develop their subject knowledge. They then used this new knowledge to develop arguments and form opinions and were then given the opportunity to present an opinion based on the information they had gathered. After completion of this task they attended a 2 hour lecture relating to the same topic. The students were able to link their ideas to the lecture more productively and consolidate their understanding of the topic, leading to better learning outcomes on subsequent assessment tasks.
