Background: Higher education policy increasingly conceptualizes industry-linked, service, and place-based forms of education in terms of experiential education. Although potentially promising, this turn toward experience risks instrumentalizing and marketizing experience, which is exacerbated by individualized theories of experiential learning.…

Academic programs commonly feature a capstone experience as the final building block of the course of study. Often, capstone experiences allow students to demonstrate mastery in the context of an authentic learning experience--a real-life problem or project situated in the field of practice. The growing number of academic programs conducted online…

This chapter discusses using technology to create Personalized Learning Pathways. Adaptable for any class format, such applications offer solutions for establishing competency, promoting deep and active learning, and empowering the instructor's data-driven decision-making.

This chapter describes the goals and structure of a service-learning experience integrated into a medical education curriculum. The curricular innovation fosters student understanding of social accountability, interprofessional teamwork as well as social determinants of health and can serve as an educational model for training future providers.

Blended forms of learning have become increasingly popular. However, it remains unclear under what circumstances blended learning environments are successful. Studies suggest that blended learning challenges learners' self-regulation. Yet little is known about what self-regulatory behaviour learners exhibit in such environments. This limited…

If students are explicitly taught about their brain's capacity to change, their motivation to learn can greatly increase. Marcus Conyers and Donna Wilson, author of "Developing Growth Mindsets," share examples from elementary to high school classrooms where students who are taught about brain plasticity show a greater potential for…

We use the framework of cognitive resources to investigate how students construct understanding of a complex physics topic, namely, a photovoltaic cell. By observing students as they learn about how a solar cell functions, we identified over 60 distinct resources that learners may activate while thinking about photovoltaic cells. We classify these…

It is not enough to be in college; the sports industry requires students undertaking different courses to gain career experience between spring break, parties, visiting and classes. Today, formal education in schools is expected to progress with practical education outside of school. This has led scholars to study different ways through which…

Different studies indicate that emotions can interfere with the efficacy of inhibitory control. However, understanding this impact requires considering that inhibition is not a unitary construct. Cognitive inhibition is the process responsible for attenuating and resisting the interference of thoughts, representations, and memories that are…

Thought experiments are personal and tacit processes of experimentation that scientists perform within their own imagery in formulating new theories or refuting existing theories. However, by viewing learning as a social process, this study aims to show that thought experiments can also be constructed collaboratively and to present a detailed…

Heuristic evaluation is a fast and cheap method that can be used to identify usability flaws in mobile learning applications. In this paper, we proposed a framework for heuristic evaluation of mobile learning applications to ensure that best practices are followed, hence saving time and effort in conducting a heuristic evaluation. Ten case studies…

This study examines the effect of learning readiness, learning experiences, learning behavior and teaching quality of lecturers on The International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) understanding in accounting students. This study uses primary data by distributing questionnaires to accounting program students at Dian Nuswantoro University…

We describe our process for transforming a traditional, core operations management/supply chain management (OM/SCM) course into an experiential, integrated, and coordinated course. We developed a vision to create a course that all business majors would find engaging and relevant and that faculty would teach consistently and at the same level of…

March 2020: The COVID-19 pandemic promoted K-12 and higher education institutions in North America to abruptly transition curricula to online and hybrid formats. As the literature notes, schools discussed digital distance learning programs long before this particular moment in the spring semester. Yet the poignant lesson from the transition had…

Increasingly, educators in the biological and social sciences teach about the concept of race from a social constructionist perspective. Scholarship on race pedagogy suggests that to fully appreciate the complexity of race, students must be able to both deconstruct multiple false beliefs about the fixed nature of race (i.e., racial essentialism)…
