Abstract New teaching and learning methods must be developed to accommodate exclusive online environments. The utilization of experiential learning in an aging course is a key teaching method that helps tap into the affective domain of learning (i.e., feelings, values, and attitudes). In a society where ageist attitudes abound and are often internalized, purposeful challenges to the "othering" of older adults is needed to disrupt this cycle. This presentation will share an experiential/age inclusivity activity that can be utilized in any teaching environment. Over a semester, students are required to write themselves four separate letters from their older selves at varying ages to their younger selves. They must research and provide a snapshot of what their life will be like at these ages in predetermined areas (i.e., health, mobility, family/friends, policy, and cultural variables, etc.) Worksheets will be provided capturing this "Getting to Know Yourself Across the Lifespan" experiential learning activity.

Teachers need knowledge of species and species identification skills for teaching the structure and function of ecosystems, and the principles of biodiversity and its role in sustainability. The aim of this study is to analyze Nordic student teachers’ views on the most efficient methods and strategies to teach and learn species and species identification, and to find some trends about how well their views are reflected in a species identification test. Student teachers in Finland, Norway, and Sweden (N = 426) answered a questionnaire consisting of fixed and open-ended questions, and a species identification test. An analysis of variance, Chi-Square, and t-test were used for quantitative data and an inductive content analysis for qualitative data. Results showed that outdoor teaching and learning methods are more efficient than indoor methods. The majority of student teachers considered outdoor experiential learning with living organisms as the most efficient teaching and learning method. Student teachers who highlighted outdoor experiential learning and outdoor project work as their most efficient methods received significantly better results in the species identification test than the others. Field trips and fieldwork were emphasized as the most important sources in schools and universities, while the Internet was the most important source among media. The student teachers underlined teachers’ expertise in the form of in-depth understanding of subjects and supervising skills for efficient teaching both outdoors and indoors. Therefore, teaching and learning of species and species identification as the practical part of biodiversity and sustainability education is emphasized as an integral part of teacher education programs.

In the teaching and learning activity, condusivity and effectivity are determined by various factors, such teacher and students’ behavior, teaching instrument, methodology and material structure. Each stakeholder may have different perspective upon these various aspects and –perhaps- will significantly influence their behavior toward the activity of teaching and learning. In a premise that a positive behavior and constructive collaboration is built on a linier perspective among stakeholders, this small scale research intends to investigate stakeholders’ perspective upon English Language Teaching in Pesantren Bilingual Al Amanah, Junwangi, Krian. Through a direct structured interview with stakeholders (teacher, head of language enforcement, and some representative students), researcher collects the data to be analyzed, interpreted and presented in an analytical descriptive report. The finding will be significant toward the foundation of stakeholders’ harmonization, enhancement of teaching method, development of English Language Teaching program in Pesantren as well as a milestone of further research and innovation.

This research paper demonstrates untraditional learning and teaching method that is developed from combination of experimentation, usage of computer simulations and problem based learning. Taking all previously mentioned methods together there can be created very successful learning environment which provides students to master electromagnetism more effectively. Research focuses on proper use of data acquisition modules and computer simulations in PBL teaching method. Based on the results of the research experimental PBL in various cases provides better learning outcomes, but there are also a few occasions where the results aren’t so pleasing. Overall PBL provides results that are at least as promising as results of other teaching and learning methods. Therefore this method will be utilized in Liepaja University to teach physics, especially electromagnetism.

In fact, there are still many teachers who have not been able to apply learning methods well in the field. This condition also occurs in Kunto Darussalam State Elementary School 010. Of the 8 (eight) teachers, 6 (six) of them always used the learning method with the lecture method, question and answer, discussion and ended with giving assignments. Giving material is also more teacher-centered. The teacher's ability to develop learning strategies through the selection of methods, media, teaching aids, and learning resources is not optimal. With these conditions, if left unchecked it will hamper the learning process where learning outcomes will not be achieved optimally. Referring to the results of school action research through academic coaching activities, it is concluded as follows: (1) The success of a learning activity is influenced by many factors, both factors that come from teachers, students, and principals as leaders in schools. One of the roles of principals in learning activities is to make efforts to improve teacher learning by applying a supervision approach, including clinical supervision. (2) Learning method is one component that greatly influences the success of teaching and learning activities, because it contains strategies so that students can learn effectively and efficiently. (3) Improving the ability of teachers to use learning methods through clinical supervision is one of the effective solutions. This can be seen from the final results of research where the teacher can master the existing indicators in determining learning methods and look for methods that are truly appropriate and in accordance with the learning objectives and the conditions of the classroom environment and the school environment itself which further benefits students' achievement. and improving the quality of schools.

Teaching and learning are the two sides of a coin. Today’s education in Ayurveda is mostly becoming an exam oriented "teaching and learning". The prevalent 'direct teaching' method also known as the "factory approach" discourages student curiosity, questioning, innovation and feedback. Innovation in teaching and learning methods aimed at development of creativity and original thinking skills are rarely adopted in Ayurveda. There is very little focus on application of knowledge and development of practical skills. Basically teaching should include two major components transferring and receiving information. So, any communication methods that serve this purpose without destroying the objective could be considered as novel methods of teaching. Various teaching, learning as well as debating methods have been narrated by our Ancient Acharyas to gain and update one’s own knowledge. So this present review article pays a tribute to all the Ancient Acharyas who planned to explore the methodology of teaching as well as other learning methods that can be attempted in imparting knowledge to the students as well as the teachers in the present era.

The U.S. workforce is increasingly comprised of older adults, women, and minorities who lack basic skills and are unable to acquire these skills through traditional educational and training programs. New approaches are needed to provide effective training to the adult learner and flexible support for nontraditional students who must balance work-life demands with limited educational opportunities. Contextualized teaching and learning (CTL) is a form of experiential learning that blends both basic skills and occupational training together in environments that allow students to relate subject matter to real-world situations. Virtual CTL environments can be created to better engage students, provide immediate performance feedback, reduce training time, and improve accessibility. To determine the effectiveness of CTL, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Tooling U curriculum and learning management system (LMS) was studied. This intervention consisted of online modules with basic skills remediation blended with interactive labs and virtual reality exercises. A nonrandom population of 342 participants was chosen for study, including 75 exposed to the CTL intervention (experimental group) and 267 not exposed to the CTL intervention (control group). Learning outcomes such as test scores, completed credit hours, course completions, and earned credentials, were compared between CTL and non-CTL groups and between demographic subsets within the CTL group. Underrepresented groups, including older adults, women, and minorities, were 2 to 3 times greater in the CTL group compared with the non-CTL group. Overall, students exposed to CTL achieved higher rates of credentialing (55%) when compared with students not exposed to contextualized instruction (20%).
