Here you will find suggested learning paths aimed at different target groups. A learning path can be a useful tool in teaching. It should have a well‑defined learning outcome, provide a structured introduction to a selection of concepts, and in many cases involve some form of student feedback or evaluation.
Learning paths can be flexible or linear. In a flexible learning path, students can choose learning activities based on their own interests and curiosity. Such approaches can work well as preparation or follow‑up activities connected to teaching. In linear learning paths, students must follow a mandatory sequence of activities.
Our learning paths are organized according to the following themes:
Critical thinking about claims and sources of information
Preparatory course for evidence-based practice: introduction to critical thinking and health claims
Learning outcome: This linear learning path provides an introduction to critical thinking about health claims and serves as a preparatory course for evidence-based practice. The teaching is divided into four modules, and at the end we have included a self-test exercise where students can check what they have learned.
Target audience: We recommend this as a course to prepare for further in-depth teaching in evidence-based practice, or as an introduction to critical thinking about health claims as a stand-alone course in the teaching of students in vocational health programs or for bachelor-level students at universities and colleges.
Critical thinking about research
Linear learning path: Introduction to evaluation research on the effects of interventions in health, education, and welfare
Learning outcome: This resource provides an introduction to evaluation research in health, education, and welfare. The four modules must be completed in numerical order. At the end, we have included an “Escape Room” activity where students can check what they have learned.
Target audience: We recommend this as a preparatory course for further in-depth teaching in research methods or quality improvement for bachelor’s or master’s students.
