Enquiry-Based Learning Can Maximise a Student's Potential

Abstract

This study evaluates an innovative method of delivery and assessment in psychology, using enquiry-based learning as a method of delivery, and student-led seminars that are peer-assessed as part of the assessment. Students' grades in a first semester developmental psychology module were found to be significantly higher than a conventionally delivered and assessed module in the second semester. The results of this evaluation are discussed in terms of student benefit and feedback.
