Hello!
Thank you for agreeing to take part in this survey. The main goal of this research is to elicit participants (i.e. learners' and facilitators’) attitudes to and experiences of Problem Based Learning (PBL) specifically in the Group-Based Research Projects (GRePs) at Leicester. The aim is to examine if there are good practices which can be transferred from the PBL group-based project experiences to core curricula teaching.
To help ascertain this I have interviewed PBL facilitators and will now ask you, as learners, to complete this survey. There are just 11 questions in total in the survey. It is important that you please answer honestly – all data will be completely anonymised so that no one beyond myself will be aware of who said what! Please note that questions marked with a red * require an answer.
If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Dr. Timothy Barker at the email address specified below.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
