This paper identifies the contribution of the different dimensions of motivational constructs, i.e., self-efficacy, task value, learning goal orientation, and performance goal orientation to motivational and affective strategy use. The findings of the regression analyses suggested that the dimensions altogether contribute significantly to…

This paper explores the entanglement between two partially connected concerns that offer the potential to animate current discussions on human rights teaching and learning: 'affect' and 'counter-conduct'. Both terms are at the heart of human rights education (HRE) approaches that aim at cultivating resistance in children and youth so that they…

Core management courses bear a particularly challenging curricular as well as pedagogical burden insofar as they are typically the sole or primary vehicle for integrating management principles with larger university and school objectives. Compounding the challenge is that these very objectives are neither universally clear nor necessarily…

This article addresses the pedagogical choices and the visceral reverberations involved in teaching porn in the university classroom. The author discusses different aims and goals for teaching pornography, as well as the some key pedagogical considerations and options involved in this, drawing on her own experiences teaching porn in Finnish gender…

This paper proposes rethinking intercultural education in teacher education, arguing that any discussion of student teachers' intercultural education should be connected more explicitly to a theoretical conceptualisation of love. The first part of the paper focuses on identifying discursive boundaries in engaging with intercultural education in…

We analyzed two educational frameworks that seek to embed "education for sustainable development" into higher education (HE). Both identify that HE is failing to educate graduates able to address the sustainability needs of society and suggest approaches to remedy the situation. We used discourse analysis and framing analysis to explore…

This article shares and extends research-based developments at the University of Otago, New Zealand, that seek to explore how students' worldviews change as they experience higher education with us. We emphasise that sustainability attributes may be described in terms of knowledge, skills and competencies but that these are underpinned by…

Educational outcomes related to sustainability often include affective attributes such as values, attitudes and behaviours. Educators in higher education who attempt to research, monitor, assess or evaluate learning of affective attributes can face a bewildering array of methodologies and approaches and a research literature that spans several…

"Learning can be defined as change in a student's capacity for performance as a result of experience" (Kenneth D. Moore). The intended changes should be specified in instructional objectives. Viewed in this context, an objective can be defined as a clear and unambiguous description of your instructional intent. An objective is not a…

This booklet presents guidelines and procedures to facilitate the development and writing of performance objectives at different levels of specificity. Chapter 1 contains a brief review of performance objectives. Chapter 2 reviews behavioral variables under the three headings of cognitive variables, affective variables, and psychomotor variables.…

The taxonomy adopted for use with projects operating under the auspices of the Florida Educational Research and Development Program embodies five primary categories: motor skills, verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, and attitudes. Performance objectives are classified in terms of the learning process required for the…

The author predicts that the affective movement in education will subside because the proponents of the movement have failed to develop curricula and other materials for potential practitioners outside the movement. (HD)

The case for the behavioral objectives approach to educational planning and evaluation has rested largely on a conceptual critique of nonbehavioral objectives. The argument against nonbehavioral objectives has been that when educators use such objectives, they cannot know what they are trying to achieve, and, even if they could know, they would…

This cursory outline of the Human Development Program has been given as one example of Affective Curricula available for classroom use. While it is not within the scope of this paper to describe fully the mechanics of the Program, some mention is made of selection and preparation procedures. (Author)
