Evidence-based learning and teaching (EBLT) concerns connecting learning and teaching to evidence-based methods, strategies and processes, through nurturing a systemic institutional culture that is committed to continuous improvement of student learning. It is a key methodology for linking teaching and research. The European Universities Association (EUA) explored how evidence-based approaches to learning and teaching could be adopted at a larger scale and developed further at higher education institutions across Europe to improve student learning. In this episode of dotLAB Radio, we talk to Professor Philippe Emplit of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium and EUA Deputy Director of Higher Education Policy, Dr. Therese Zhang, on their recently published report on EBLT. In this podcast, we discuss:
- What is evidence-based learning and teaching?
- What are six steps of evidence-based learning and teaching?
- Why adopt evidence-based learning and teaching?
- What are the challenges in adopting evidence-based learning and teaching?
- What can Higher Education Institutions do to successfully adopt evidence-based learning and teaching?
