The Community for Learning & Innovation (CLI) gives lecturers from Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) the opportunity to apply for a fellowship. With this fellowship, they research educational innovation, or carry out an educational project.
On this page, you can read more about the CLI Fellowship of Renée Scheepers (ESHPM), which focuses on how project-based learning can contribute to students' societal engagement.
Project-based learning bridges the gap from disciplinary and science-based knowledge to professional project skills that students need in their (future) workplace for solving the problems of society. This gap is reduced by project-based learning through engaging students in small-group learning of complex, real-world societal urgencies, embedded in team-based projects. This method has been integrated into a novel project-based learning program in the new bachelor curriculum of medical education (ErasmusArts 2030) at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC). The current project will first clarify how the PjBL program can be most effectively organized based on perspectives of project supervisors, teachers, and students. Second, the project evaluates how study demands and resources in PjBL can best support motivation and societal engagement of students. These insights will be obtained using both qualitative (focus groups) and quantitative (survey) methods.
