Supervised practice experiences exist in nearly every student affairs preparation program and serve as the ideal setting in which master's students in student affairs administration programs make the translation of the theoretical knowledge to the practical skills that are required in their work (Komives, 1998; Nelson, 2010).

Classroom as organization (CAO) is an approach at the extreme end of an experiential learning intensity continuum.

We argue this is, in part, because of shadow elements that may discourage…

The ability to make good decisions is key to personal and professional success for students. In this case study, we outline a set of in-class exercises that we have used for students in business, law, human resources, and public policy to help them understand and internalize their susceptibility to cognitive errors. Specifically, we illustrate an…

Using multimodal conversation analysis, this article analyses language learning as an "in situ" process during a teacher-assigned, experientially based pedagogical activity. The activity involved a three-part pedagogical structure, where learners first prepared for and then participated in real-life service encounters, and later…

Currently, less than 3% of the U.S. population lives on a farm (Riedel, 2006). Technological advances and mechanization coupled with other societal factors, have led to the decline of an agriculturally literate population (Kovar & Ball, 2013). Blair (2009) identified one strategy for increasing agricultural literacy as implementing education…
