Student First: a new educational experience
The new Esade Student First methodology connects with the latest educational trends and is based on a basic concept: students play an active role. With the Student First methodology, you and your colleagues take part in the creation of knowledge and contribute with your work to the collective learning process.
One of the major differences with traditional methods is that students must arrive in class with a prior preparation on the subject that will be discussed in the classroom. This is what is known as the Flipped Classroom, in which learning is divided into three phases:
Pre-class preparation
Read, research or view multimedia content on the basics of the topic to be discussed.
In-class work
Share the knowledge you’ve acquired with your classmates and the instructor by debating, reflecting, and solving cases, challenges, and projects.
After class
Deepen your understanding, reflect further and apply the acquired concepts in other areas.
Advantages of the Student First system
- Interiorise knowledge in a more natural way.
- When you arrive in class, you will have already identified doubts that you will later share and resolve.
- Classes are more enriching: you focus on applying the knowledge and you receive inputs from your lecturer and classmates.
- You are prepared for the future: you learn to apply the theory in different circumstances and work collaboratively.
- You are more open to learning new things.
