Community-based learning (CBL) is a form of experiential learning that integrates academic theory and content with active service in an applied setting. CBL is especially well suited for teaching about complex social issues. We present the case study of a psychology course on substance use recovery that leverages CBL to dismantle stereotypes,…

This volume provides a critical narrative inquiry into the learning experiences of adults and children at a Community School in Canada. It tells the story of a closely connected family of people living and learning together, combining activities such as learning to read and write with unconventional learning experiences such as trick riding, rodeo…

Consultation evenings, also known as parent-teacher conferences, are important opportunities for teachers to strengthen their relationships with caregivers. Many teachers, however, are unprepared, having had few opportunities to build skills and participate in real consultations during teacher training. To provide student teachers with more…

In the Czech Republic there has been a growing interest in education in nature ["výchova v prírode"] in connection with accreditation as a field of study. Outdoor experiential educator Jan Neuman, who died in April 2021, was instrumental in the development and formalisation of Czech education in nature programmes over the past 50 years.…

Educating people in personal finance is of utmost importance. However, previous studies show that traditional approaches to financial education may lack experiential learning components that help students connect theory and practice. This article describes a pedagogical approach to financial literacy education taught at an international liberal…

We present our work on a hybridized undergraduate research model that blends the apprenticeship model with that of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) to produce the course apprenticeship-based model (CAB). The purpose of CAB was to incentivize students' interest in undergraduate research at an urban associate granting…

The arena of international schools is continuously growing. One under-researched 'traditional' grouping is the United World College (UWC) movement. Its idealistic long-term mission to facilitate global peace and sustainability by 'sparking change' in young peoples' lives represents an important area of study. As well as preparing young people for…

Within the broad, interdisciplinary field of adult education, affective aspects of experience and the roles they play in learning have, thus far, not been properly theorized or researched. This dissertation first explores how John Heron's whole person theory (WPT) conceptualizes feeling as an expansive affective capacity at the root of all human…

The Titanic disaster is a topic that continues to fascinate.

The last few decades have seen a growing trend toward the analysis of creativity and flow experiences in pedagogy, but we have only a limited knowledge of how cultural institutions can contribute to flow experiences in learning processes. Our study argues that the effectiveness of learning might be enhanced by the experiential accumulation of…

This teaching tip describes a novel simulation, the Business Information Systems Simulation, designed for teaching information systems concepts. Created with "Capsiminbox," the simulation places students in the role of a retail store manager who is assigned a leadership role in a strategically important pilot project to develop an app.…

The responses children make during read-alouds bridge meaning from stories. Educators must grasp the value of children's responses and reactions to literature. Children's discourse is central to the reading process; thus, children must be allowed to participate in this learning process. Due to this, the read-aloud process in the classroom should…

While research has explored pre-service teacher views and experiences with disability simulations, none thus far has centered those that decide how and why such simulations are used, namely, teacher educators. Our research explores physical education teacher educator views and experiences of visual impairment simulations, as well as their…
