 CRITICAL INCIDENT-BASED LEARNING |
| A pedagogical design in which a critical incident provides the anchor for all learning, teaching, and assessment activities. It is different from Scenario-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning in the nature of the event or incident that is used to contextualize all learning and teaching activities. Beyond this essential difference, it is similar to Scenario-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning. Learners are required to identify a critical incident from their life or workplace. A typical critical incident is a significant event that has caused someone to rethink or change his perceptions and behavior about something and in some way. Participants encounter such situations in their workplace which present them with learning opportunities. The of this pedagogical design is to teach learniers how to recognize these critical incidences as learning opportunities, and how to reflect on them critically while in action. [1]. [2] |
