The concept of Active Learning (AL), which has journeyed through multiple research studies over the years, is an important part of the teaching learning process at academic institutions. The present study applies active learning via project-based approaches where students engage in real life projects and solve associated complications with their research, communication, and technical skills. As a case study of effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL), especially in engineering project contexts, the present research is conducted among students studying computer science and engineering at Kathmandu University (KU), Nepal. The key findings of the study suggest that PBL assignments have helped students in their active learning processes. This paper also compares teaching and learning approaches of KU with other IT institutions of Nepal.

Global changes in all spheres of human life require medical education to form students' conscious attitude towards their own lives, mental and physical development, education, and further medical career. Practical classes are a type of teaching within a variety of teaching and learning approaches providing the close interaction and cooperation between the students and tutors and posing real-life tasks. It is at practical classes when the tutors or mentors can and should conduct a controlled evolving of concepts and development of skills. Making a collective decision and discussing clinical problems is one of the forms of interactive education that enables future doctors to learn how to express their thoughts correctly, how to clearly substantiate decisions. Unlike the traditional classes, this form gives the students an opportunity to check up themselves, to make decisions based on the main principles of the diagnosis and treatment of various nosological forms. The article presents an experience of fostering professional competencies in the 5th year students of the Faculty of Dentistry by applying a case study, an interactive teaching method (case-study method) during the course of paediatric therapeutic dentistry at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University. This technique contributes to strengthening the generation of students’ knowledge and its shaping through independent activities and collective discussion; it also boosts students’ intellectual skills, creating and critical thinking. As for the tutors and mentors, this type of teaching form is an effective way to get feedback and contributes to the ability to effectively correct the ways to shape knowledge, and to organize consultancy assistance to students. The combination of interactive methods and other methods of knowledge, skills and competence building and the active independent work of students, the creation of the system and algorithm for implementing these methods, perfect mastery of their mentors and partnership, mutual respect between the teachers and students is a guarantee of the training of a highly competent specialist.

Learning Through Play

<p><em>The National Preschool Curriculum (NPC) of Malaysia introduced “Learning through Play” (LTP) as one of the major teaching and learning approaches for preschools. However, for holistic growth, learning environment for young children should also emphasize on quality built environment that are planned in alignment with the vision and principles of LTP and consideration of children’s development psychology. The theory of affordances was utilized whereby the existence of affordance within the physical environment creates potential to be actualized and it is independent of the users, namely children. This paper examined application of available attributes and physical characteristics for LTP in private preschools within converted residential houses. For this purpose, four case study preschools in Johor Bahru were selected through purposive sampling for participant observation to observe available attributes and physical characteristics as well as gain an understanding on potential and actualized affordances for LTP in the respective preschools. After qualitative analysis, findings indicated that opportunities for learning through play within preschools were hindered by four main factors which included lack of materials, equipment and free will; allowable play and independent mobility factors; time factor and safety factor.</em></p>

Space Layout

Within the higher education sector there has been a shift towards flexible teaching and learning spaces that can be re-imagined and re-organised depending on the teaching approach to be employed. While this has undoubted benefits in terms of student engagement, innovative delivery, and exciting learning approaches, it potentially presents a challenge for a student group, those with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), that has not been fully considered to this point. This study draws upon advances in the Architectural Technology discipline to develop a methodology which can assist in designing and communicating proposed teaching environments, with a particular focus on the potential to benefit students with ASD. The methodology is presented in the form of a case study. The aim is to assist designers and end users in analysing and defining the necessary links to evaluate solutions for the layout planning of spaces, determining functionality and whether proposals are feasible. The output obtained from this workflow elevates its potential in aiding space layout planning, helping those who need assistance in understanding newly formed layouts.

Smart learning environments for the Emirati learners are defined as a combination of blended learning and experiential learning approaches to create joyful educational environments. The current case study is an investigation into what generation Y of Emirati learners in one of the largest tertiary educational institutions in the United Arab Emirates consider joyful learning. The case study was based on mixed method surveys of educators and students. The case study investigation resulted in four important recommendations for creating smart learning environments where context and situated learning are essential considerations for mindful teaching and learning.

Librarians can utilize design-thinking practices to develop instructional materials, in the development of new products and services, and in prototyping novel solutions to problems. This paper will explore the role of design thinking in teaching and learning via the use of the Blended Librarians Adapted Addie Model (BLAAM), and will illustrate how well-designed learning approaches can be used to create inclusive learning environments. It will present a case study showcasing how an academic health sciences librarian utilized a design-thinking process to create a health data literacy instruction service that encourages diverse participation in healthcare hackathons.
