| Abstract: | The world faces various global challenges of economic and business nature, innovation and change in education is required. Therefore, innovative educational practices such as CBL gain importance to be implemented in higher educational institutions. However, there is a research gap due to the lack of an instrument throughout the literature that measures CBL at higher educational institutions. So, this paper comes up with an initial attempt for a survey instrument measuring CBL readiness and the potential for change in existing curricula across many disciplines. To measure this, UTwente serves as a case to apply the online survey and 72 responses of course/module coordinators are collected to attain a comparison between the current and potential state. The paper concludes that from the perspective of course/module coordinators 1) in the current state the ITC faculty, the ‘master’ study program use most of the CBL components. The overall use of CBL components is ‘slight to moderate’, 2) while in the potential state, there is ‘moderate’ readiness and openness towards change. The CBL component ‘enterprise skills’, faculty EEMCS and the ‘bachelor’ score the lowest showing the most potential for change. The results also revealed that there is less openness towards changing the teacher role indicating that this issue needs to be tackled. So, more work can be done towards exploiting the potential to implement CBL in the future. This paper emphasizes the importance for all higher educational institutions to measure both states to have an overview, restructure the curriculum and tackle issues towards change. |
