Directed CBL module process: case orientation, lecture, peer instruction, and case review¶

Description¶
This pattern describes the four-task structure used for each course module in the directed CBL intervention. As the article states, "each module in the course involved four tasks, including orientation to the case study, a relevant lecture, peer instruction, and case review." Students had approximately four days between case orientation and peer instruction to answer directed questions in self-selected groups of five to seven, followed by a 45-minute instructor-facilitated case wrap up. This structure combines lectures with case study, suiting content-heavy courses.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Self-selected groups of five to seven students with each student assigned one to two questions to answer, with seven questions per case
Constraints¶
- The directed type of CBL uses questions with close-ended answers and allows the instructor to monitor construction of information to prevent students from diverging from the main topic
Target Learners¶
- Second-year undergraduate Kinesiology students in a biochemistry course
Learning Goals¶
- Content knowledge in human metabolism and biochemistry
