Andragogy in Practice: Applying a Theoretical Framework to Team Science Training in Biomedical Research
This study is the first to apply the theoretical principles of Malcolm Knowles' theory of andragogy to evaluate data collected from learners who participated in team science training workshops in a biomedical research setting. Briefly, andragogy includes six principles: the learner's self-concept, the role of experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, the learner's need to know, and intrinsic motivation. Using an embedded study design, the primary focus was on qualitative data, with quantitative data complementing the qualitative findings. The deductive analysis demonstrated that approximately 85% of the qual...

Assessing the Efficacy of Active Learning to Support Student Performance Across Undergraduate Programmes in Biomedical Science
Discussion: Active learning is a useful tool to support student learning across a range of healthcare programmes taken by students with differing backgrounds and academic abilities in an interprofessional and widening participation setting. Student engagement in active learning was highlighted as a key contributory factor to enhanced student performance in all aspects of assessment.PMID:38501148 | PMC:PMC10945544 | DOI:10.3389/bjbs.2024.12148 (Source: British Journal of Biomedical Science)
