| Description | This book reports on the fifth cycle of design-based research (DBR) (see Chapter 1). One of the design principles of the North-West University (NWU) work-integrated learning (WIL) excursions for first-year student teachers is based on cooperative learning (CL), where students work in heterogeneous groups to learn from each other. Another design principle is that the entire two-day synchronous virtual online excursion’s activities are driven by problem-based learning (PBL). For the education students, PBL was constructed on a video diary depicting the many challenges a principal had to manage in a dysfunctional school. Both CL and PBL are effective teaching and learning (T&L) strategies that can contribute to fostering first-year students’ self-directedness. This book therefore contributes to the scholarship of self-directed learning (SDL). This scholarly book, to impact education and health sciences praxis, is the 12th volume of an NWU book series on SDL. The target audience is scholars in the field of SDL and WIL within education and health care education. | |
