NCRM Bitesize Lessons for Teaching Social Science Research Methods 6: Teaching Mixed Methods Using an Open-space Learning Approach

Open-space learning is a transdisciplinary approach for engaging learners and teachers in a shared exploratory space. The aim is to enhance the student experience of learning where the outcome is unknown.

This approach has roots in the University of Warwick CAPITAL (Creativity and Performance in Teaching and Learning) and Reinvention Centres and in learning theories that are learner-centred, transformative and social. A high value is placed on pragmatic real world understanding, creative teaching and embodying research.
