East And West

This article endeavors to understand the work of Bruce Lee, particularly his appearance on the US television series Longstreet (1971–1972), with reference to the philosophical concept of perfectionism. Although in extant scholarship Lee has often been presented as an anti-Confucian figure, this article reexamines Lee’s Confucian connections vis-à-vis perfectionism. By virtue of an investigation into the centrality of the concepts of character, volition, and self-actualization in Confucianism, in conjunction with an analysis of their prominence in Western (specifically, Aristotelian and Emersonian) philosophy, this article situates Lee between Eastern and Western perfectionist traditions. This article then examines Lee’s work on Longstreet in an effort to elucidate the perfectionist ethos that fueled Lee’s philosophy of Jeet Kune Do and, by extension, his media pedagogy regarding teaching and learning martial arts. Ultimately, this article argues that Lee represents a quintessential perfectionist pedagogue and that the most important lessons to be learned from Lee involve such perfectionist hallmarks as building character, cultivating virtue, and self-actualizing.

This chapter (re)introduces practical learning methods to the reader. Focusing on multimodality, authenticity, engagement, and environmental adaptability, this chapter breaks down practicality in a rapidly changing learning environment and provides a brief overview of three practical approaches. Combining industry-developed knowledge of agile strategies with experiential knowledge of frontline, metric-driven innovations in teaching, learning, and eLearning, this chapter also showcases blueprints for establishing a sustainable foundation for the growing architecture of eLearning in the US and internationally. The chapter is designed to model the chapter's content for the reader, actively involving readers across modalities in the processes of refining an understanding of practical methods and approaches, including (1) case-based learning, (2) active learning, and (3) communicative learning (as a corollary to communicative language teaching).

<p>Providing students with contemporary, up-to-date listening experiences in L2 is an ongoing challenge for language educators. Indeed, much commercially available material is dated or presents language in an idealised and decontextualised way. Audiostreaming provides a wealth of resources which may go some way towards resolving these issues. Contemporary teaching and learning materials on an extremely wide range of topics are easily downloaded from national radio station websites and are accessible via systems such as podcasting. This paper discusses one attempt at integrating these resources into tertiary language courses and demonstrates how these can be easily and efficiently integrated into meaningful online learning tasks. In addition, we discuss the complex issue of copyright and online materials in Australia, UK (Europe) and the US.</p>

Heated Debate

Welcome to the final issue of the Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice for 2019. In this issue we have papers from Finland, the US, Ecuador, Thailand and Australia covering a range of topics and approaches exploring university teaching and learning practice. Evaluating an intervention into students’ wellbeing and organising strategies in Finland, Asikanen, Kaipainen and Katajavouri provides evidence that pharmacy students undertaking a 7 week online course designed to promote psychological flexibility had a positive impact on their study behaviors during the intervention. Addressing issues of engagement in first year, Kearney makes the case for his Authentic Self and Peer Assessment for Learning (ASPAL) Model as a particular kind of transition pedagogy that engages students in the development of a deep understanding of assessment expectations and standards of performance. Also focused on student transition, Pattanaphanchai reports on students’ learning achievement and their positive perceptions of the flipped classroom in an introductory computing class in Thailand. Dealing with contentious content in first year, Ford, Bennett and Kilmister report on a study they conducted into pedagogical models in a large first year history subject that services teacher education students and had its own history of heated debate and conflict when exploring the ANZAC mythologies. Considering how content transforms perceptions and values, Njoku reports on a longitudinal evaluation of the use of learner-centred teaching and its impact on learning outcomes in an undergraduate rural public health course in the US. And finally, Freyn introduces the pedagogical strategies used in a LGBTQ literature course in Ecuador, and reports on the results of a phenomenological study of its impact on the participants’ agency in terms of advocacy and support for the LGBTQ community.
