Developing Transferable Research Skills in First Year Agricultural Economics Students

Abstract: A problem-based learning approach was adopted for a unit of study in first year agricultural economics at the University of Sydney with the aim of starting development of students’ research skills earlier than usual. The novel teaching approach employed a structured and guided problem activity in the first semester and progressed to a more authentic problem activity in the second semester where the students worked in online peer groups to identify their own problem within a specified challenging area (market f… Show more

“…In guidelines developed for psychology educators and scholars, Naufel et al (2019) argue that psychology instructors can teach transferable skills by offering opportunities for application of skills implicitly through assessments as well as explicitly helping students to identify and reflect on the skills developed (Joy et al, 2015). Here, we use these guidelines in combination with aspects of problem-based learning (Hmelo-Silver, 2004; Koppi et al, 2010) and the benefits of working with real scientific data (Ruuskanen et al, 2018) to develop a course delivery framework for improving academic outcomes and laying the foundations for transferable skills for students. An important component of our approach is the just-in-time teaching (JiTT) delivery of information to support complex learning and skill development (Van Merriënboer et al, 2003).…”
