Features: The so-called "research-based learning" upholds an holisticist value system, where knowledge is seen as the meaning of the world created by individuals, and learners are regarded as practical and free beings. Learners are intrinsic to the generation of knowledge, forming a shared world with it, and learning is thus a process where meaning freely unfolds as learners encounter the world. At a time when traditional learning culture has strayed further from the true purpose of education—enlightening and liberating individuals—research-based learning undoubtedly takes on the responsibility of reversing the essence of learning and guiding its direction.
