LEARNING BY TEACHING

Learning is an active process. Students become more conscious about their knowledge and the questions they have about their project, if they take others with them in their research process. INSIDE believes teaching about your project will help you understand your project better. AT INSIDE we use ‘learning by teaching’ as part of the graduation process.

The graduation students prepare a SKILLS workshop for the frst year students in which they explore the essential SKILLS needed for their graduation project. These SKILLS workshops take place at the beginning of the graduation process. At that point, the students formulate their graduation project and explore their main topic. They decide which locations are worth visiting to get more knowledge about their project, but also which SKILLS will play a role. The students formulate in pairs a research question based on their own graduation project, they instruct their fellow students and guide them in the exploration and development of a skill regarding their subject. With this process they mobilise their fellow students to contribute to the learning by teaching process.
