Kolb's Learning Cycle

The common path into a career in higher education and student affairs (HESA) involves undergraduate campus leadership, involvement, and mentorship from professionals in the field and leads to enrolling in a graduate program in HESA. What is less common is intentional preparation or curricula to transition undergraduates into a graduate program in HESA and a career in the field. This paper describes how one “Careers in Higher Education” course for undergraduate students at one university informed students’ decisions to enter the field. This study uses Kolb’s learning cycle (Kolb, 1984) as a conceptual and analytical framework.

Successes And Challenges

This chapter examines the process that graduate students in a Student Affairs in Higher Education class used to implement real-time polling in group presentations. Students used Poll Everywhere to create their own real-time polls. This process is examined through the lens of Kolb's (1984) Experiential Learning Cycle. The researchers in this study reviewed students' experiences using real-time polling in each of the four stages of the Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC): Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active Experimentation (AE). The chapter also captures the successes and challenges of implementing real-time polling at each stage. The data from this study suggests that students had high levels of success in all four of the ELC stages when implementing real-time polling. The results also identify challenges which were realized during the process and areas of improvement for future consideration.

O objetivo deste artigo é aprofundar a discussão sobre a utilização das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) no ensino superior. O modelo teórico de investigação contemplou o levantamento de informações sobre quatro variáveis: 1. Tecnologia; 2. Processo de Aprendizagem; 3. Interação Professor-Aluno; e 4. Características Demográficas dos participantes (gênero, faixa etária, escolaridade, exercício docente) para analisar a percepção de estudantes e de docentes acerca do uso das (TIC) no ensino superior. O instrumento de pesquisa adotado considerou vinte questões e foi aplicado a alunos de Graduação em Pedagogia, mestrandos, doutorandos e docentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Escolar da Faculdade de Ciências e Letras FCLAr-Unesp. Com base nos resultados obtidos, evidenciou-se que as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação como mediadoras do processo ensino e aprendizagem envolvem muito mais do que o uso, o acesso e a apropriação de inovações tecnológicas e metodológicas nos processos educacionais. Envolvem a construção social do conhecimento.Palavras-chave: Educação. Tecnologias de informação e comunicação.

The theoretical research model included the collection of information on four variables: 1. Technology; 2. Learning process; 3. Teacher-Student Interaction; and 3. Demographic characteristics of the participants (gender, age group, schooling, teacher's exercise) to analyze the perception of students and teachers about the use of (ICT) in higher education. The adopted research instrument considered twenty questions and was applied to undergraduate students in Pedagogy; Masters and doctoral students and professors of the Post-Graduate Program in School Education of the College of Sciences and Literature - Unesp. Based on the obtained results it was evidenced that the Information and Communication Technologies as mediators of the teaching and learning process involve much more than the use, access and appropriation of technological and methodological innovations in the educational processes; involve the social construction of knowledge.Keywords: Education.

Kolb's Learning Cycle

This study aimed at identifying students’ perception in terms of motivation, learning and engagement in using mobile flipped classroom approach based on Kolb’s Learning Cycle (1984). This quantitative study was conducted using a questionnaire to collect the data. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive analysis (percentage, means and standard deviations) utilizing the SPSS 20. The research took place in one of the top private universities in Malaysia and equipped with adequate free internet access. The researcher applied homogenous purposive sampling by selecting 40 undergraduate students registered in multimedia and computer animation course. The result showed that students had positive perceptions in terms of students’ motivation, learning and engagement in multimedia and animation course using mobile flipped classroom approach. Future research is recommended to focus on different age and a group of participants to obtain in-depth information on the implementation of mobile flipped classroom approach in a different context.

Implicit And Explicit

Race has been one of the most controversial subjects studied by scholars across a wide range of disciplines as they debate whether races actually exist and whether race matters in determining life, social, and educational outcomes. Missing from the literature are investigations into various ways race gets applied in research, especially in higher education and student affairs. This review explores how scholars use race in their framing, operationalizing, and interpreting of research on college students. Through a systematic content analysis of three higher education journals over five years, this review elucidates scholars’ varied racial applications as well as potential implicit and explicit messages about race being sent by those applications and inconsistencies within articles. By better understanding how race is used in higher education and student affairs research, scholars can be more purposeful in their applications to reduce problematic messages about the essentialist nature of race and deficit framing of certain racial groups.

This paper presents an overview of multiracial student organizing and organizations on college campuses. The authors address common challenges that multiracial student organizations face in higher education, how student affairs staff can challenge institutional practices that perpetuate monoracism, and how to support and empower mixed race students to effectively develop strong leadership skills. Several recommendations for working through political and administrative hurdles are also provided.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) has become the standard used to describe and evaluate students’ command of a second or foreign language. It is an internationally acknowledged standard language proficiency framework which many countries have adopted such as China, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia Ministry of Education is aware and realise the need for the current English language curriculum to be validated as to reach the international standard as prescribed by the CEFR. The implementation of CEFR has begun at primary and secondary level since 2017 and now higher education institutions are urged to align their English Language Curriculum to CEFR as part of preparation in receiving students who have been taught using CEFR-aligned curriculum at schools by year 2022. This critical reflection article elucidates the meticulous processes that we have embarked on in re-aligning our English Language Curriculum to the standard and requirements of CEFR. The paper concludes with a remark that the alignment of the English curriculum at the university needs full support from the management in ensuring that all the stakeholders are fully prepared, informed and familiar with the framework.

This book, consisting of nine chapters, is the result of multiple theoretical and empirical research carried out by students in the post-graduate program in education (PPGE) at Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE). The object of the research was to carry out a study on the new models of higher education, implemented in Brazil between 2005 and 2013. The studies carried out focus, above all, on institutional principles, student access policies, the internationalization process, quota policies, and mechanisms for inclusion in higher education for public school students. These were studies that used, as a theoretical basis, epistemological models of a counter-hegemonic character and, from a methodological point of view, an essentially qualitative approach. The studies showed, generically, the possibility of building other models of higher education capable of overcoming the elitism, characteristic of traditional universities. The inclusion of students from public school reveals that it is possible to make higher education a right for everyone, democratizing it, in the sense of establishing social and cognitive justice. Keywords: higher education; new models; empirical research; Brazil; social and cognitive justice.
