Sport management curricula at universities across the United States often require one or more classes on legal issues of sport. Most often, the topic of risk management (RM) is not covered as extensively as necessary with venues and events being targets of violence and terrorism. Do graduating sport management students understand RM in a way where…

We provide a set of practices implemented within the last year that integrate experiential learning cycles into an established introductory wet-lab course. The use of this cycle during the course and impact on meeting course defined learning objectives and student responses are considered in defining success. Each of the three practices are…

The paper investigates the intellectual traditions that underscore the assumptions of academic and carrier advising, toward an understanding of what it means to advise college students and the pedagogical ramifications of this understanding. The discussion articulates the driving forces that stand behind a university model that goes beyond course…

Faculty who teach at the college level are often responsible for their own pedagogical training and development, and leading a short-term study abroad program may be one strategy for helping faculty with this development. This study explores the experiences of faculty who have led short-term study abroad programs and provides insight into how the…

Short-term study abroad (STSA) programs are the fastest growing segment of experiential learning programs in management education and the least studied. This is the first systematic review of STSA research, which focuses on 156 studies on STSA published between 2000 and 2019 and proposes a conceptual model to guide STSA research scholars. Through…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore creativity and how it changes over time among engineering students in practice-based entrepreneurship in higher education. This change was examined in students over a one-semester course in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship courses that use creativity tools for practice-based learning are expected…

Fostering 'experiential learning' in real-life situations is a critical task for engineering educators when creating constructively aligned learning activities. The paper proposes an approach to measure the students' perception of learning in Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate activities conducted outside the classroom. The approach is based on the…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of teaching and learning in higher education, with the potential to significantly enhance learning experiences, streamline administrative tasks, and foster personalized education. As the use of AI by students and instructors expands, it is crucial to carefully consider both its…

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) increases the 'work readiness' of university graduates but it is a complex undertaking and involves numerous risks for the stakeholders involved. A systematic review of the literature published between 2012 and 2017 reveals that the discourses related to risk and WIL are quite limited with the perspectives of key…

Formal leadership development programs enhance what students learn in the classroom by giving them powerful tools for personal and professional success. They are also a differentiator for many institutions. They help schools attract more high-ability students, distinguish themselves from peer institutions, and increase the value of a student's…

Experiential learning literally is making meaning from direct experience. It plays vital role in facilitating the process of creating knowledge, sense-making and knowledge transfer in teaching, training and development. This study assessed the effectiveness of Exploration, Research, Interaction and Creation (ERIC) Learning Model which is a…

The paper explores relevant past research on service-learning in Information Systems courses since 2000. One of the conclusions from this is that most of the publications are not founded on specific theoretical models and are mainly about sharing instructor or student experiences. Then several theoretical frameworks from Education and other…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the Triple-V model of experiential learning, when applied to Higher Education (HE), can transform the student-learning experience by integrating the model's three elements of Vision, Value and Vocation into delivery, assessment and beyond. Design/methodology/approach: The paper sets out how…

Demonstration models allow students to readily grasp theory and relate difficult concepts and equations to real life. However drawbacks of using these demonstration models are that they are can be costly to purchase from vendors or take a significant amount of time to build. These two limiting factors can pose a significant obstacle for adding…

Listening is one of the most basic language skills in second language learning. The various obstacles in language learning can be overcome through the use of learning models and cognitive styles that are appropriate with the characteristics of the students. The objective of this research is to find the effect of learning models and cognitive style…
