
RePro stands for Real-life Problems that the
industry world experiences and students
reconstruct in the classroom.

Learning is as an open-ended process
requiring active engagement from the
learner’s part.


Student-centered learning is based on
student’s own motivation and needs for
learning.

Teacher’s role is to facilitate the planning,
and provide guidance, feedback and
evaluation of the student learning based on
the particular learning needs and abilities of
students.


The underlying idea in this learning method is
that learning becomes deeper when the
subject is more relevant to the students’
interests and aspirations and when they are
given the opportunity to actively engage in
the creation of their knowledge.

The session steps
When working on problem in a group it is highly recommended to use the
seven following steps to achieve the best results in view of learning:
These steps are:
 clarifying terms and concepts
 defining the problem
 analyzing the problem
 defining and formulating the goals
 brainstorming
 reporting and integration
It is also recommended to choose a team leader to coordinate the team
work and secretary to make notes which should be distributed among
all team members (e.g. via e-mail).
Remember! Work as a team and share and integrate tasks and knowledge!
