The Second EELISA Research-Based Learning Symposium
The Second EELISA Research-based Learning (RBL) Symposium will take place in Pisa on May 17-19, 2023, and will feature special sessions focused on the experience and best practices of the EELISA communities as well as the presentation of research papers selected as part of the EELISA scientific student’s competition, among others. The full program will be announced soon.
Research-based learning (RBL) is a paradigm of education where students/learners are exposed to a research problem in their field. Through this experience, learning is enabled as learners need to research many subjects, methods, and problems new to them. In this approach, teachers/educators act more like an enabler or a mentor rather than an instructor. This paradigm has many similarities and overlapping qualities with other paradigms such as project-based learning, challenge-based learning, and work-based learning.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The 2nd EELISA RBL Symposium is calling for presentations for the following sessions:
- RBL Approaches: Talks on the theoretical and foundational aspects of RBL, as well as applications, are welcome. External stakeholders from non-EELISA institutions (particularly representatives from other European University alliances) are especially welcome.
- EELISA Communities: We invite members from the EELISA communities to present their community-specific activities, and their outcomes, particularly related to the learning process.
- EELISA Experiences: We invite students, in addition to researchers, organisers, and other stakeholders who have taken part in EELISA activities, to talk about their experiences. The focus of these talks is expected to be the learning process and the unique outcomes of these activities.
* Submission deadline: 17 April, 2023
