IL-06: Project-Oriented Learning to Connect Disciplines: Student and Teacher Perspectives

Project-oriented learning (POL) is becoming more and more popular in both curricular and extracurricular programs in colleges in Quebec. It fosters active learning and offers a valuable environment to integrate and connect multiple disciplines. Two teachers, who have applied POL in the field of Neuroscience for the last ten years at Dawson College, will present key aspects and advantages of the method. This will be complemented by the learner’s perspective, through five posters of recent projects. Students will evaluate their experience with a specific focus on competency learning of multiple disciplines.
