Use Semi-Structured Discussion in Health Economics Seminars
Abstract
This chapter applies the semi-structured discussion approach to organising seminars in higher education using an undergraduate Health Economics module as a case study. It provides the theoretical rationale by re-investigating the different roles of lectures and seminars in learning and teaching. Evidence shows that it significantly improves the students' engagement and active thinking in a social learning environment. That is because a dialectic discussion involving both students and tutors results in a deeper understanding of welfarism and alternative value system, which are the fundamental principles underlying people's decision-making related to trade-offs between outcome efficiency and procedural fairness. Therefore, this approach is believed to improve the long-term holistic development of students' values and attitudes towards social, economic, environmental, and cultural matters.
