Inquiry-Based Learning in Theology and Religious Studies: an Investigation and Analysis: 3.4 Formal IBL provision
Rebecca O'Loughlin
Notwithstanding the IBL which is occurring in the Department of Biblical Studies without being flagged as such, CILASS' work with Biblical Studies has focused on the development of six IBL projects which aim to cover all levels of undergraduate study in the department, with the further aim of building a bank of resources and methods that can be used to extend IBL to other modules in the future. At the time of writing, the first three are in progress or complete, and the final three are yet to begin. Outlines of each project are given here. There is particular focus on Fieldwork Recording, with the outline supplemented with data from a focus group of students who took this module, and relevant extracts from staff and student interviews.
