| Purpose | "This technique deepens student understanding of course-related ideas and concepts and guides them in applying them to “the real world.” It helps students understand themselves in relation to that course content. It also can catalyze student curiosity. It makes material from coursework more relevant to them, which stimulates their motivation to learn it. It also provides an outlet for reflecting upon what they have learned, thus deepening the learning." — Learning Assessment Techniques, Barkley, EF and Major, CH, 2016 |
