Disciplinary Investigations: An Enquiry Based Approach to Engaging with Learner Autonomy Using a Portfolio Assessment Method

Overview

This project is a pedagogic project developed by a team of staff members within the criminology subject group and is designed to use an Enquiry-Based Learning (EBL) approach to enhance learner autonomy and develop a learner-teacher partnership between students and staff in the subject group.

The module content (informed by research interests of teaching staff) and process (enquiry-based investigation into ‘key issues’ in criminology) are aligned within the project to give the greatest potential for staff and students to maximise their autonomy in engaging with the subject.
