Introduction
This piece will summarize some research on student perception of learning experience with a focus on project-oriented learning (including project-based, inquiry, problem-based, case-based).
Survey instruments
- Student perception of learning experience/Course Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ; Entwistle & Ramsden, 1983),
- Student perception of learning experience/Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI; Entwistle et al., 1979)
- Student perception of learning experience/Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ; Ramsden, 1991)
- Student perception of learning experience/Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ; Biggs, 1979)
