APPLIED RESEARCH
Holmesglen TAFE – led research into educational escape rooms
Holmesglen’s Dr Harrison Burgin and Ms Kim Kenwell have been disseminating the findings of their applied research project which focused on innovative teaching and learning methods in Holmesglen’s Faculty of Health Science, Community and Social Studies. One of the research projects explored how educational escape rooms can be used as a method of allowing students to apply their learning to a series of problems, promoting collaborative problem solving. The aim is to develop learners’ transferable skills; their communication, problem solving, time management and critical thinking – the skills that are hard to teach in a classroom.
