Student Reflections

From solid, hands on experience with the challenges of intercultural differences to a significantly chan­ged personal mindset and a new perception of their individual education programmes, a student survey provides new evidence of the advantages of expe­riential learning. Experiential learning encompas­ses a variety of out-of-classroom-activities including project based learning, internships, service learning, participation in the research and other student crea­tive work experiences. Kolb’s experiential learning theory (KELT) is comprised of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The aim - to reveal benefits of experiential learning based on student participation in the project “Villages on Move Baltic” (VOMB) tour. Material and methods. Experiential learning and experience reflection hold a significant role as an educational methodology, and it is a shared value to prepare students for the challenges in a changing world by developing professionals who can think critically and reflectively. As mandatory assignment during the tour, the student collective formulated se­ven questions, and an analysis of the students’ indi­vidual replies to and reflections on these questions forms the basis of this article. Qualitative research – more specifically a content analysis – was used in this study, that was conduc­ted based upon the replies from participating stu­dents from Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Denmark (N=17). Except for three from high school level, students re­presented BA-programmes within health care, phy­siotherapy, social work, community pedagogy, and innovation & entrepreneurship. Results. Students expressed their positive attitude on the participation in the Baltic Tour. Students‘ ref­lections highlighted various scenarios of future life and career. The learning potential of the Baltic Tour can be described in three areas. Students, regardless of nationality, expressed a) cohesion of the theory and practice; b) knowledge application in a professional perspective; c) intercultural and international expe­rience. Student reflections revealed that participation in the Baltic Tour influenced personal growth, social competencies development and improvement of co­gnitive skills. Student reflections on the Baltic Tour itself included appointing more attention to informal communication during the tour and more information and involvement before. In addition, more activities in cross-nation groups and the use of creative team building tools were recommended. Students’ view to criteria for the quality of VOMB-ideas mentioned “Large number of participants“, “Attractive types of physical activities”, “Involving people from all so­cial groups“ and “Ecological approach and security during events“. Conclusions. Students’ survey based on the project “Villages on Move Baltic” tour highlighted the bene­fits of participation to personal abilities, key compe­tencies and professional skills improvement.

The complexities of food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences (FANH) programs and   projects require faculty to write and secure funding in addition to mastering skills such as evaluation competencies that integrate abilities in quantitative and qualitative research methods and evaluation theory and practice. The EVAL Framework was developed to advance skill development among FANH graduates to include these competencies and increase the pipeline of students who have the essential skills needed to advance FANH initiatives and priorities. The EVAL Framework includes four primary constructs: (a) Evaluation, (b) Value, (c) Active and Experiential Learning, and (d) Leadership. The purpose of EVAL is to build relationships with untapped FANH fields to develop a pipeline for graduates to become evaluation leaders for advancing food and agricultural sciences. This experiential learning and development model focuses on foundational and enrichment experiences, through formal coursework, project-based learning, and contextually rich environments. Mentoring, individualized development plans, scholarly learning communities, collaboration, transferable skills, and career planning and guidance activities are integrated into the EVAL framework to enhance skill development among EVAL scholars.

Abstract The tradition of talempong music has been hereditary into a part of the Minangkabau social life. In its journey, traditional art has been in contact with the sharing of symptoms that develop in the life of a dynamic society, based on it, there also emerged the genre of talempong creation in the Minangkabau region. Puti Tunggastudioplays talempong with the type of talempong duduak (diatonic). The form of the talempong duduak performance is usually combined with several modern instruments such as electric guitar, sexophone, drums and also other traditional Minangkabau musical instruments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of talempong duduak music at Puti Tungga Studio in Dharmasraya Regency. Type of this research was qualitative with using a descriptive analysis approach. The object of this research was Talempong in the Pulau Punjung sub-district, Dharmasraya Regency. Techniques of data collection were done by using library studies, observations, interviews and documentation. Efforts that are done by Puti Tungga Studio for the development of the Talempong Duduak are such as gathering members, training in a week and being active in the appearance of the Talempong Duduak in Dharmasraya. There are several obstacles found by Puti Tungga Studio in developing the Talempong Duduak , such as the players who often change because of their busy activities, the higher flow of modern music and the high interest of the society towards modern music. The development and preservation of the Talempong Duduak musical instrument currently needs to be done by socializing to the wider society, especially the younger generation through the Department of Education by incorporating traditional art knowledge both in theory and practice into the curriculum through elementary school to senior high school level. Keywords: music development, talempong duduak, puti tungga art gallery

Conceptual understanding involves students' abilities in the aspects of translation, interpretation, and extrapolation. A way to increase conceptual understanding is to use excel-based modeling (EBM). However, the use of excel-based modeling (EBM) has not been applied in physics learning at the junior high school level. This study aims to test the effectiveness of project-based learning assisted by excel-based modeling to increase students' conceptual understanding of wave material. The sample of this study were students of class VIII-1 junior high school who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. Research data determine the effectiveness of using excel-based modeling using a pretest and posttest in the form of 7 identical essay questions. The data obtained were analyzed using a paired-sample T-test. After the treatment, data on the increase in the value of each indicator of concept understanding were obtained, namely 91.18 (translation), 86.65 (interpretation), and 83.09 (extrapolation). In the end, excel-based modeling is quite effective in improving students' understanding of concepts. Keywords: Conceptual Understanding, Excel-based Modelling, Project-based Learning

This research presents the results of a case study that analyses the Solidarity Atocha project, which was implemented at a school in Madrid, Spain, and in which 114 first-year High school students participated. The main objective of this study is to analyse the experience of students that participated in the Solidarity Atocha project and to understand how they evaluated it and how satisfied they were with it. The method applied in this case study is a mixed one that used both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A semantic differential and a semi-structured interview were used to collect data. In general, the results obtained reveal a very positive evaluation from the students, mainly in terms of teamwork and the use of digital tools. However, they encountered some difficulties with regard to the time spent on the project and to guidance provided as they worked on it. Inferential analyses show significant differences between the team groups.
