This report describes context-based learning (CBL) and the learner benefits associated with the practice, including capability building, increased creativity and skills of critical analysis as a professional.
The process of CBL involves students being provided with a scenario, and undertaking a student-led process of hypothesising, which ultimately results in the development of the students’ own learning needs.
