WASC Learn-by-doing Working Group
The Learn-by-Doing Working Group focused on the following research questions from the Institutional Proposal (PDF):
- What are the historical and theoretical foundations of our learn-by-doing (LBD) pedagogical model?
- How is LBD currently implemented in different programs/parts of the curriculum? Is LBD different at Cal Poly than at other institutions?
- What impact does LBD have on student success after graduation?
- How can LBD be leveraged to assist in the recruitment and retention of students, faculty, and staff from underrepresented populations?
- How can a campus-wide model of LBD contribute to student achievement of university learning objectives?
During 2008-09, the group focused on the capacity aspect of these questions, that is, what hard and soft infrastructure is in place to support and improve learn-by-doing? The group's draft report is now available for comment.
