Phenomenological Case Study

Abstract This study aimed to explore the teaching-learning congruence between mid-career teachers and millennial learners which remains a global challenge. After 15-30 years of teaching, they face issues on self-absorption with great desire to develop themselves instead of mentoring others. In the Philippines, they resort to printed learning materials, while the millennials are highly addicted to technology and ecopies. Self-reflected learning is dominant in mid-career teachers, while collaborative learning works well with millennial learners. The said divide in their teaching and learning strategies results to constant struggles among mid-career teachers. In Australia and some countries, there is scanty literature on midcareer teachers. This phenomenological case study in a Philippine teaching university unraveled their day-to-day struggles as they coped and bridged the teaching-learning divide. Results can usher in a paradigm shift in mid-career teachers teaching as well as produce policy enablers with capacity building to manage millennials as top priority in the Philippines, in Asia and abroad.

In recent times the types of teaching and learning strategies adopted within higher education in British music conservatoires have been reviewed and reformed. This paper provides a case study of some of the newer practices adopted by one such institution, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It focuses on the work of the Performance and Communication Skills Department, and, drawing on participant observations, makes a detailed analysis of the success of the implementation of the teaching and learning aims and objectives. The findings suggest that, not only are the changes adopted by the conservatoire useful, but also that they are beneficial to teachers and students at a number of levels.

<p>Movement and physical activity are at the center of physical education and the availability of adequate facilities is necessary for the success of learning activities. The limited availability of facilities can hinder physical education classes from running effectively and as expected. A physical education learning strategy is needed to overcome difficulties due to limited physical education facilities. This research is qualitative based on a case study. The instruments used in this research are observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data is analyzed descriptively. The research shows that the teaching and learning strategies used to overcome limited physical education facilities can include the modification of teaching materials to suit the available facilities, modification of the facilities to suit the teaching materials, or adjusting the available time allocation for the class.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Pembelajaran di dalam pendidikan jasmani tidak lepas dari aktivitas jasmani atau gerak, sehingga sarana prasarana merupakan faktor penting dalam menentukan keberhasilan kegiatan pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani. Kondisi sarana prasarana yang terbatas dapat menghambat pelaksanaan pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani di sekolah. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan strategi pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani untuk mengatasi keterbatasan sarana prasarana tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendekripsikan tentang strategi pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani dalam mengatasi keterbatasan sarana prasarana. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Instrumen penelitian berupa observasi, wawancara, dan kuisioner. Data diolah dengan analisis deskripsi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa strategi pembelajaran yang digunakan untuk mengatasi keterbatasan sarana prasarana adalah dengan pemilihan materi pendidikan jasmani yang disesuaikan dengan sarana prasarana yang ada di sekolah, memodifikasi sarana prasarana, dan menyesuaikan alokasi waktu yang tersedia.</p>

Teaching And Learning Strategies

Boyer (1990) suggests that in considering the concept of scholarship we take note of four distinct aspects, including that of teaching. His model offers a framework for the comparison of specific pedagogical practice and is employed for that purpose in this paper. College-based Higher Education (CBHE) is dominated by a number of vocational and professional curriculum areas. These professions each have their own distinct culture and ethos. This may be evident in interpersonal relationships, dress codes or the patterns and hours of work. There is a potential clash between establishing a cross-college consistency of good practice and respecting the traditions of distinct workplace environments. This case study draws on a number of sources to explore subject-specific approaches to, and understandings of, teaching and learning. It starts with outcomes recorded at a staff conference. These findings were taken further in peer observations shared with the CBHE teaching teams at a meeting of the HE practitioners’ forum and developed in focus groups. Fifteen colleagues from disciplines including art and design, construction and engineering, social work, childhood studies and education contributed. Finally all those engaged in CBHE, around 80 members of staff, had the opportunity to read and comment on an initial draft of this case study. Written feedback was received from ten colleagues and some of that feedback is included here.This case study reviews some specific aspects of teaching and learning practice. What is meant and understood by the task of writing, being evaluative or critical and the process of reflection are tentatively explored. There is evidence to support the view that discipline- or curriculum-specific understandings of key concepts in teaching and learning exist. It is suggested that further consideration should be given to the origin of these differences and their possible impact on graduate employability.

Undergraduate Programs

This paper discusses how a set of ‘mandated’ generic graduate attributes were incorporated, by a retrofit, into an IS undergraduate degree program. The current challenge is to implement these attributes completely by matching them to course objectives, by explicitly including and assessing them, and by refining teaching and learning strategies to be cognisant of them. Other considerations identified are the extent to which these attributes actually suit the needs of IT/business graduates (including those contemplating postgraduate study), employers of IS graduates, and professional bodies. Attributes not addressed in the generic set are also considered as are attributes students possess prior to beginning degree studies.

The purpose of this research study was to investigate the teaching and learning strategies used by homeschool parents with high school students. A qualitative case study was used which began with the administration of an open-ended questionnaire to a homeschool community in the southern United States. Twenty-nine parents completed the questionnaire, and 10 of those volunteered to participate in the follow-up procedures, which included interviews, observations, and document collection. Results indicate that parents use a variety of teaching and learning strategies including individualized instruction, mastery learning, self-directed study, collaboration with peers and adults, and application and connection of information.
