This article discusses the digital divide from the perspective of lifelong learning. Building on extant empirical findings related to digital transformation in the Nordic region, the authors develop a relational approach to explore the ways in which digitalisation has become meaningful and influential in everyday life, producing moments of…

This article describes an arts-based research project in studio drawing education. It applies theories of situated practice learning to a staged drawing event in an 'ex-academic' life drawing studio to query a potent site of intersubjective learning and analyse three binary structures that hamper the transformative experiences of…

Various theories and models discuss how instructional designers can develop systems that allow learners to engage in problem-solving. To date, many of these theories and models that guide design often describe how learners engage in meaning-making within a situated context; however, they do not address strategies instructional designers can use to…

The growing trend of "escape games" in science education instigates debate over their pedagogical value, with researchers calling for more emphasis on theory-based design processes. Thus, the current study's goal was to identify situated learning components that can be associated with educational escape games and to generate a…

While the role of teams in leading transformations within academia is increasingly recognized, few studies have analyzed how teams form. Understanding the processes of interdisciplinary team formation within higher education will allow leaders to intentionally bring together individuals and form teams with higher likelihoods of success. In this…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) represents a dynamic pedagogical approach in science education, driven by a foundation of deep theoretical constructs. This paper meticulously examines the cornerstone theoretical underpinnings of IBL, centering on constructivism, situated cognition, and cognitive load theories. Constructivism, epitomized by Piaget's…

Informed by post-humanism, my research examines the entanglement of more-than-human forces at the Bread Loaf School of English. The oldest professional development institution of its kind, the Bread Loaf School of English has invited teachers to spend six-weeks each summer studying at its mountain campus since the summer of 1920. When the physical…

Drawing upon autoethnographic experience as a music educator, I make the assertion that transformative learning is particularly amplified in locations where a person encounters the unfamiliar, for those are often the precise places where an individual's habitus no longer holds efficacy. To build this argument, I propose that when inner…

In recent years, there has been a strong call for more fine-grained analyses of student engagement to better capture its nature as a situated, momentary phenomenon. This special issue aims to promote cross-disciplinary discussions about the complex processes involved in students' momentary engagement and learning situated in classroom contexts.…

This study draws on an ecological perspective on teacher agency to examine the role of the situated learning CALL environment in developing EFL student-teachers' agency. The data were collected from eight student-teachers' autobiographical narratives and the recoded class discussions. The deductive thematic analysis of the data showed that…

Recent academic motivation research has shifted towards understanding the situation-specific and process-sensitive nature of motivation. This shift has initiated discussions on methodological advancements to capture dynamic changes in motivation as they occur in authentic learning contexts. However, these studies have not been systematically…

Background: Situated simulation is a pedagogical method used for on-the-job training in many occupations. Establishing a framework that uses mobile devices to provide both simulation elements and incorporates instant feedback as reasoning scaffolding is a promising and relatively unexplored research topic. Objective: In this study, we designed a…

The rapid advancement of digital technologies is prompting a necessary shift in traditional educational models, particularly in finance education. This study introduces the "Multi-Dimensional Situated Learning Model" (MD-SLM), which is rooted in constructivist theory and aims to enhance teaching strategies in university finance courses.…

This article delves into the multifaceted nature of pedagogy, examining its role as both a practical pursuit and an academic discipline concerned with education and upbringing. Positioned within the context of modernity, the overarching objective of pedagogy is framed as the cultivation of a free subject in communities of free people, emphasizing…

The purpose of this project was to explore current methods of onboarding, mentoring, and training district lay leaders in The United Methodist Church in an attempt to provide a new model based on situated learning (legitimate peripheral participation) for doing this work in the changing environment of the church and culture. The author surveyed…
