Integration of research and teaching

Integration of research and teaching is one of the ambitions of our vision on teaching and learning (Learning@LeidenUniversity).

Perspective- and enquiry-based learning: how can you help students get to grips with complex issues?

Fred Janssen, Scientific Director of ICLON and Professor of Science Education, has developed a number of tools that make it relatively easy for you as a lecturer to convert your teaching into enquiry-based learning that prepares students to deal with difficult issues and problems. You will find more information about the method and how to get started on this page.
