Abstract:

While Operational Research and Education are common keywords in OR journals, most work focuses on course content. Relatively little has been written about processes of education and learning in OR. This paper adds to this important area by considering the use of more Independent Learning (IL) in Operational Research education. Included is an explanation of IL and justification for using it. Activities which encourage IL are described and supported by three case studies which give examples of how an academic might introduce IL into a range of OR education settings. Other topics include IL and assessment, arguments against the use of IL, and critical success factors.
