Emphasis on independence scale
TD
There was no evidence of a difference in student perceptions between the TD and OFC group on the IN scale regarding opportunities to choose the particular areas you want to study (Q3), that the course encouraged them to pursue their academic interests (Q15) or the opportunities to discuss faculty how they were going to learn in this course (Q30). Analysis of the IN scale indicates that students were dissatisfied with the level of choice afforded by the OFC. Students within the TD group found that they had little choice over how they would learn (Q16, P = 0.018) or over the work they had to do (Q21, P = 0.011). Additionally, students in the OFC group felt that they had little choice in the way they were assessed compared to the TD group (Q34, P > 0.001).
