Postdoc Positions on Fostering Challenge-Based Learning at Eindhoven University of Technology

The postdocs will work for a project granted as Comenius leadership Fellow to TU/e innovation Space (https://www.nro.nl/onderzoeksprojecten/comeniusprogramma/toegekende-proj...). The focus of the project is to develop a framework and means to make CBL a leading educational principle for the TU/e-community and transferable to other institutions. Important research questions that will be addressed are:

What are current promising practices that align with the vision of CBL?
What are design criteria for courses according to the CBL concept?
What are students’ learning gains in CBL compared to traditional lecture-based education in terms of (a) interdisciplinary thinking, self-directed learning, collaboration skills, and engagement, and (b) disciplinary knowledge and skills?
How much and what kind of guidance is needed to enable different kinds of students in different stages of the program to realize productive challenge-based learning processes?
What characterizes a good CBL coach?
What do teachers need to design and facilitate CBL?
