@article { , title = {Using Action Research to Enhance Teaching and Learning at the University of Technology, Jamaica}, abstract = {As part of its quality assurance systems, the University of Technology, Jamaica initiated a project aimed at exploring how action research could be used as a vehicle for enhancing the quality of the teaching/learning process. Following a series of orientation sessions and the development of a handbook for project teams, five action research projects were undertaken in the second semester of the academic year 2001-2002. The projects focused on using a student-centred approach in traditionally teacher-centred courses. At the end of the project cycle, results indicated that students became more independent learners and instructors had learned much about student-centred classroom strategies.}, doi = {10.1080/0260293032000059603}, eissn = {1469-297X}, issn = {0260-2938}, issue = {3}, journal = {Assessment \& Evaluation in Higher Education}, pages = {239-250}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis (Routledge)}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1283180}, volume = {28}, year = {2003}, author = {George, Nancy A. and Craven, Michael and Williams-Meyers, Claudette and Bonnick, Pauline} }
