This paper aims to analyse the effect of quantitative analysis practices in analytical chemistry laboratory designed according to the experiential learning model on the self-directed learning readiness of prospective teachers’. In the research, experiential learning model has four steps that are concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active participation. A single group, pre-test post-test experimental design was used. The study group consists of 14 prospective chemistry teachers’. The self-directed learning readiness scale and focus group interviews were used as a data collection tool. After the application increase, the level of self-directed learning readiness. Difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the study group was significant. When the sub-scales of the scale examined, there was a meaningful difference in the ‘willingness to learn and self-control’ sub- scales. In the focus group interviews, the prospective teachers’ emphasised that experiential learning provided an understanding of the purpose of quantitative applications of analytical chemistry. Keywords: Self-directed learning readiness, experiential learning model, analytical chemistry laboratory.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of experiential learning on the achievements of prospective teachers in analytical chemistry quantitative analysis practices and to determine the mistakes made by prospective teachers in the experiments. Pre-test and post-test control group experimental research design was used. Data were collected by the analytical chemistry achievement test and laboratory form. As a result of the research, a significant increase was observed in prospective teachers’ levels of academic achievement. This finding can be explained as the experiential learning classroom environment, which will construct a community of practice like the scientists’ work. According to the results of the laboratory form, prospective teachers are more successful in multiple choice questions in the achievement test; however, they cannot show the same success in explaining the theoretical foundations of the experiment or detailing the calculation sections.   Keywords: Experiential learning, analytical chemistry laboratory, achievement, mistakes in experiments.

The Difference

This study aimed to produce an e-module based on a self-directed learning model that was valid, practical and effective and was able to help students learn independently and understand SMAW manual arc welding theory. This study is a Reset and Development (R&D) study which refers to the ADDIE instructional development model. ADDIE development procedures namely Analysis, Design, Develop, Implementation and Evaluation. The results of this Research and Development produced a valid learning e-module based on the evaluation of material expert validators who declared valid and the material expert validators who declared valid. The practicality of using e-module was known from the use of e-module that going well and the results of students and teachers responses from questionnaire statements were high practicality. The results of the effectiveness were known from the increase in the students' understanding of subject and the test results of the difference between pre-test and post-test results of the application of this e-module were quite effective category. Based on this study, a learning e-module for SMAW Manual Arc Welding based on the Self Directed Learning model had produced. this was valid, practical and effective for use in learning and can improve the theoretical understanding of SMAW Manual Arc Welding subject.

Effective Transfer

This paper, the first of two companion papers, describes a creative learning approach. Integration Tutorials and Seminars were developed to address concerns of regional fieldwork-education coordinators and preceptors about the ability of third-year student occupational therapists to integrate and apply academic and theoretical knowledge during fieldwork. This ability can be gained through experiential learning in the academic setting and is essential for the effective transfer of academic learning into the students' fieldwork-education experiences (Dale, 1994; Fidler, 1996; McCaugherty, 1991; Neistadt, 1996). The Modified Learning Model of Svinicki and Dixon (1987) was used as a template for an academic course fostering experiential learning. An important secondary goal was to nurture student self-directedness in learning using the philosophy of the Staged Self-Directed Learning Model (Grow, 1991). Case studies were used as a vehicle for engaging and challenging the students. The philosophy, guidelines and process of the Integration Tutorials and Seminars are presented and have the potential to be adapted for occupational therapy curricula around the globe.

Mission Trips

Short-term Christian overseas volunteer trips, also known as short-term mission trips (STMs), have become increasingly prevalent (Howell & Dorr, 2007). However, research on these programs has been limited. This quasi-experimental study adds to the literature by quantitatively measuring the effects of an STM from Singapore to Thailand. STM recipients’ ( n = 44) self-esteem and readiness for self-directed learning (RSDL) were compared across timepoints – pre-test, post-test, follow-up – and with a control group ( n = 50). It was hypothesized that recipients would experience an increase in self-esteem and RSDL such that their scores would be higher than the control group post-STM. Results provide partial support for the hypotheses; while improvements among recipients were either not significant (for self-esteem) or not long-lasting (for RSDL), recipients had higher scores than the control group post-STM. This suggests that STMs have some, albeit limited, positive effects. Recommendations for promoting greater and longer-lasting effects are offered.

The Impact

Abstract Background Self-directed learning is important in nursing as it is associated with improved clinical and moral competencies in providing quality and cost-effective care among people. However, unethical professional conduct demonstrated by some graduate nurses is linked with the way they are developed in schools alongside the content and pedagogies prescribed in nursing curricula. Pedagogical transformations appear to be inevitable to develop enthusiastic nursing students who can work independently in delivering quality and cost-effective nursing services to people. This study intended to examine the impact of facilitation in a problem-based pedagogy on self-directed learning readiness among undergraduate nursing students in Tanzania. Methods A controlled quasi-experimental design was conducted in Tanzanian higher training institutions from January to April 2019. A 40-item Self-directed learning Readiness scale for nursing education adopted from previous studies measured self-directed learning and the Student A descriptive analysis via a Statistical Package for Social Sciences software program (version 23) was performed to establish nursing students’ socio-demographic characteristics profiles. Independent samples t-test determined mean scores difference of self-directed learning readiness among nursing students between groups while regression analysis was performed to discriminate the effect of an intervention controlled with other co-related factors. Results The post-test results of self-directed learning readiness showed that nursing students scored significantly higher [(M = 33.01 ± 13.17; t (399) = 2.335; 95%CI: 0.486,5.668)] in the intervention group than their counterparts in the control. Findings of SDL readiness subscales were significantly higher among students in the intervention including self-management [(M = 10.11 ± 4.09; t (399) = 1.354; 95%CI: 0.173,4.026)], interest learning [(M = 9.21 ± 2.39; t (399) = 1.189; 95%CI: 0.166,4.323)] and self-control [(M = 13.63 ± 5.05; t (399) = 2.335; 95%CI: 0.486,5.668)]. The probability of nursing students to demonstrate self-directed learning readiness was 1.291 more times higher when exposed to the intervention (AOR = 1.291, p < 0.05, 95%CI: 0.767, 2.173) than in the control. Conclusion Facilitation in a problem-based pedagogy promises to change the spectrum of nursing learning habits potentially to their academic and professional achievements. Nurse tutors need to be empowered with it to prepare nursing students to meet their academic and professional potentials.
