Learning objectives: an epiphany

Priscilla Soulié et al. FEBS Open Bio. 2021 Dec.

Abstract

A new Bachelor-Master curriculum in Biomedical Sciences was created at the University of Geneva in 2017. As we organized the new curriculum, we discovered the usefulness of learning objectives. This goal-oriented approach of teaching proved essential to determine the overall structure of the teaching program, as well as the content of specific courses, and the nature of the examinations. It led us to include innovative elements in the program, preparing students for real-life situations. Finally, it convinced us to change our role as teachers, in order to engage students in a more active learning relationship.
