Summer Course in STUDENT CENTRED LEARNING: APPLYING MODERN LEARNING PRINCIPLES in Health Professions Education

In this course we share many years of theoretical and practical experience in managing and assessing learning in student centred curricula as implemented by the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences of Maastricht University. The programme offers an introduction and global overview of the principal components and characteristics of the Maastricht approach to student centered education and in particular, how to manage learning and assessing in a student centred curriculum.

Objectives involve: •

• Understanding the basics of PBL and modern learning principles in student-centred curricula •
• Identifying the evidence behind modern learning principles •
• Learning to manage and assess in relation to different cultures

The course is intended for all involved in education in medicine, health sciences and behavioural sciences broadening and deepening their knowledge about PBL and related topics.This course receives a rich professional variety of participants.

The Summer Course is for many participants the first encounter with SHE and represents a stepping stone to SHE certificate and advanced courses, a Master of Health Professions Education or a PhD to become a health professional educationalist

The working language is English. Active mastery of this language is required. Translating modern learning principles into the design of new educational materials/activities and applying them to your own context is an important outcome of this course
