Four-component instructional design (4C/ID; [1]) offers a systematic approach to the design of educational programs for complex skills such as doing research. It stresses the use of authentic learning tasks, simple-to-complex sequencing of those tasks, and decreasing learner support and guidance in a process of scaffolding. At Maastricht University in the Netherlands, the MaRBLe program (Maastricht Research Based Learning experience; [2], [1]) aimed at the development of honors programs in the Bachelor phase with a focus on learning through doing research. This presentation will describe some of these programs and use 4C/ID to analyze their underlying educational principles. The take-home message is that learning through research can be realized but requires a radical change in how higher education is designed.
