“…Educational philosopher, John Dewey, is generally credited as the founder of the experiential learning movement (Miettinen, 2000). Dewey "sought to develop a theory of experience and present his thoughts about experience as an optimal stimulus for learning" (Beard, 2018). His foundational work emphasized continuity and interaction and pointed to how the interaction between conditions of learning (mental, external, etc.)…”

This study examines the efficacy and impact of a political science "study away" course to New Hampshire in the weeks preceding the 2016 and 2020 First in the Nation presidential primary elections. Specifically, this study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining survey research and focus groups, to investigate whether this sort of experiential learning program impacts subjects' political engagement, as well as their personal and professional growth, and an institutional affinity toward their university. This study is important because it expands our understanding of how experiential learning may shape students in normatively desirable ways, and it does so by looking beyond the traditional scope of experiential learning literature, focusing on a domestic "study away" experience of an intermediate length rather than on traditional study abroad programs, internships, and classroom simulations.

“…However, for topics such as poetry or multicultural literature, the tables were arranged, by type of poem or representation of marginalized populations, respectively. PSTs rotated between tables which appeared to help energize them and by virtue of movement and interactions with books, gave concrete distinctions between subtopics, and perhaps, lessening of the cognitive load (Beard, 2018). Also, having a variety of representations of the given topic exposed the PSTs to a substantive array of that particular form (e.g., haikus, free verse, quatrain, etc.…”

Librarian-Faculty Collaboration for Literacy Courses: Promoting Better Learning for Preservice Teachers

This narrative describes a collaboration between three university literacy faculty and a subject librarian undertaken to embed library instruction across the semester in three required courses--children’s literature, early literacy, and disciplinary literacy--in order to help undergraduate preservice teachers better understand and incorporate children’s literature and high interest literature into their teaching. Concrete, scaffolded, hands-on experiences for preservice teachers with teaching materials helped to build awareness of foundational concepts in literacy instruction. Librarian/faculty collaborations have the potential to improve literacy teacher preparation programs by providing designed opportunities for active, concrete engagement coupled with structured reflection.

“…The aforementioned learning by problem solving design model is naturally aligned with others like project-based learning [27], inquiry-based learning [28], cooperative learning [29], or apprenticeship [30], to name a few, all of them under the umbrella of experiential learning [31,32]. Perhaps one of the most popular theorists in experiential learning is such of John Dewey, the precursor of the learning by doing concept [33,34]. These learning models are tightly related to constructivism in education: "an approach to learning that holds that people actively construct or make their own knowledge and that reality is determined by the experiences of the learner" [35,36], that is, learning is a result of an experiential process.…”

Jupyter Notebooks in Undergraduate Mobile Robotics Courses: Educational Tool and Case Study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Jupyter notebooks are recently emerging as a valuable pedagogical resource in academy, being adopted in educational institutions worldwide. This is mainly due to their ability to combine the expressiveness of traditional explanations from textbooks, with the interaction capabilities of software applications, which provides numerous benefits for both students and lecturers of different fields. One of the areas that could benefit from their adoption is such of mobile robotics, whose recent popularity has resulted in an increasing demand of trained practitioners with a solid theoretical and practical background. Therefore, there is a need of high quality learning materials adapted to modern tools and methodologies. With that in mind, this work explores how the introduction of Jupyter notebooks in undergraduate mobile robotic courses contributes to improve both teaching and learning experiences. For that, we first present a series of (publicly available) educational notebooks encompassing a variety of topics relevant for robotics, with a particular emphasis in the study of mobile robots and commonly used sensors. Those documents have been built from the ground up to take advantage of the Jupyter Notebook framework, bridging the typical gap between theoretical frame and interactive code. We also present a case study describing the notebooks usage in undergraduate courses at University of Málaga, including a discussion on the promising results and findings obtained.
