This article recommends institutional changes to higher education related to time, learning, and risk that would better serve the contemporary student population and increase opportunities for life-long and interdisciplinary learning. To begin, the changing demographic of university students will be outlined, along with suggestions about how…

Explaining after pauses in a video lecture can be an effective learning activity, yet students need support to generate comprehensive explanations. This study tested whether providing students access to the visualizations from the video enhances explanation comprehensiveness and transfer performance. Undergraduates (n = 112) watched a 5-part…

Prior research has demonstrated beneficial outcomes for learning new skills in older adulthood, including increased cognitive and functional abilities, which help prevent age-related declines and foster healthy aging. However, these studies largely have included participants not typically considered at risk for cognitive and functional decline…

This study explored strategies to enhance sustainable learning ability among students in higher vocational colleges in Guangdong Province. The research objectives were threefold: (1) to examine the current and expected situations of students' sustainable learning ability, (2) to develop educational management strategies to improve the students'…

In an in-house third-year social work research placement, a duo-ethnography showed that the student--supervisor relationship had far more impact on transformative learning than the assigned placement tasks. A model for co-creating an environment of transformative learning is described, putting student learning and growth at the center. Attributes…

In this paper, we report the results of a 3-year, quasi-experimental study comparing students' engagement and deep learning of course materials between students who took an undergraduate engineering course that used a video game approach to a control group. The video game, EduTorcs, provided challenges in which students devised control algorithms…

Using a cross-sectional survey of co-operative education students, this study explored relationships between students' gender, work experience, time spent on tasks with supervisors, and self-reported learning. Inexperienced men spent 50% more time on tasks with supervisors than inexperienced women. Work experience (completing at least one…

Globally, schools were faced with mandatory shutdowns in the wake of the recent COVID-19 outbreak. To avoid disruption in the education process, teachers and students used alternative education strategies and solutions, switching to emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL). This change was completely unanticipated, and thus can only be…

The educational/instructional technology field has used several names throughout its history in an effort to communicate the focus of teaching and scholarship in the field. This qualitative study explored the thought process of four faculty members whose programs adopted the name "Learning, Design, and Technology." Findings indicate the…

It is often hypothesized that prior knowledge strongly predicts learning performance. It can affect learning positively mediated through some processes and negatively mediated through others. We examined the relation between prior knowledge and learning in a meta-analysis of 8776 effect sizes. The stability of individual differences, that is, the…

The purpose of the study was to explore Turkish preschool teachers' views and implementation of play and playful learning in their own classrooms. Through semi-structured interview questions, the participating teachers' perspectives were investigated using a phenomenological research approach. A thematic data analysis approach was used to examine…

Teaching and learning are profoundly personal experiences, yet systems of education often prioritize ubiquitous agendas that alienate rather than engage. Creating space for individuals and their lived experiences has the capacity to transform the classroom from a place of containment to one of expansiveness. Resisting the tendency of education to…

Scholars have identified reflexivity, the ability to question what one might be taking for granted, as a critical meta-cognitive skill that management schools should cultivate amongst students. Reflexive learning though is a complex and idiosyncratic process. Little is known about how students experience this process, what they learn, or how a…

This study advances the understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s role, particularly that of conversational agents like ChatGPT, in augmenting team-based knowledge acquisition in virtual learning settings. Drawing on human-AI teams and anthropomorphism theories and addressing the gap in the literature on human-AI collaboration within virtual…

This chapter describes a teaching and learning center's efforts to support the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) work of health science faculty. Recommendations and lessons learned are shared.
