This exam can be provided to trainees in paper or online versions, depending on the way the workshop is implemented (in person or online). It focuses on assessing trainees’ achievements in terms of CU2 Learning Outcomes: The question of this Essay is: Based on the development of the PBL (an activity conducted during the workshop), please elaborate on the following topics: Trainees will have 1 hour to elaborate this essay. |
Remarks | The best way to teach trainees to create a PBL exercise for welding/STEM is to ask them to solve a PBL in class. The solution can be reached by working collaboratively, and by thinking critically, thus addressing all Learning Outcomes of this Competence Unit in a practical way.
As such, after providing an overview to trainees about learner centred didactics, the trainer asks trainees to gather in groups, working collaborative with other trainees and thinking critically about the case study illustrated by the PLB, to solve it and to take a notes about their experience during the process. This experience will allow them to write this individual essay. The responses provided by each trainee will be evaluated against the Learning Outcomes of this CU. |
