Learning And Teaching

The field of research in educational methodologies has been offering during the last decade a series of innovative and promising new initiatives. These initiatives have tried to apply to the educational environment the fruits of current psychology research. Ideas such as student motivation, gaming, multiple intelligences, project-based learning, flipping the classroom, makerspaces, and others, abound in the field of educational methodologies. These new initiatives are evaluated with traditional procedures grouped under the umbrella of the scientific method. This paper first discusses the limitations of these evaluations. Second, it describes learning and teaching as a computational process. Finally, it proposes the use of principles of Information Theory as the foundation for the design of modern educational methodologies.

Learning Institutions

Some universities offer specific project-based learning (PBL) courses in the third year of their electronic engineering degree to equip undergraduate students before they embark on industrial attachment and/or a capstone project. This course exposes those students to full design cycles at circuit and system levels. Students also pick up practical skills, such as component selection, circuit troubleshooting, printed circuit board design, and market analysis. This perspective offers the author’s reflections on effective learning and teaching strategies for this purpose, after running such a course for the past 10 years at Griffith University. In earlier years, students’ have complained about lack of direction and overloading, which are common issues being reported in PBL courses. In response, we have implemented scaffolding and balanced evaluation criteria for assessment, providing formative feedback, and we have designed integrated assessment items. As a result, average marks for the cohort and the percentage of students that receive the grade of high distinction have increased in the past five years. These strategies might be of help at other learning institutions that offer similar courses.

This chapter intends to describe the case of the MIEC virtual exhibition as well as reflect upon the relevance of ICT, namely Google Arts and Culture, for the promotion of cultural heritage tourism. In this vein, the authors will first approach the issues of cultural tourism and ICT, exploring how virtual exhibitions and digitization have become an important tool to empower institutions and audiences. Secondly, the authors will present, discuss, and assess the project-based learning (PBL) activities, starting with the presentation of the platform, its advantages and disadvantages for learning and teaching. Then, the authors will analyze some of the results obtained from a pedagogical perspective by scrutinizing students' surveys and opinions. These results will also report on the research outcomes of the project, and an accountability of its marketing purposes will be proposed. The chapter will finally put forward the limitations of this ongoing project and intended future research, suggesting how similar projects can be implemented, managed, and assessed.

Background: Clinical  education  forms  a  core  component of the training  of physiotherapy students.  Little research on the efficacy of commonly used  physiotherapy  clinical  learning  and  teaching  opportunities are available. Objective: This  paper  sought  to  identify  the  clinical  teaching  and  learning  opportunities  that  undergraduate  physiotherapy  students  and  clinical  teachers viewed as effective in enhancing learning, as well as the reasoning behind their views.Design: A qualitative research design was used.  Data was analyzed using content analysis.   Data was coded, cate gorized and conceptualized into key themes and patterns. Participants: All third year (n=40) and fourth year (n=40) physiotherapy students as well as their clinical teachers (n=37) were eligible to participate. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with a purposive sample consisting of six third-year students, six fourth-year students and six clinical teachers.  Results:  The  results  indicated  that  learning  is  best  facilitated  in  open,  relaxed  environments.Demonstrations  of patient management by teachers and students, discussion of patient cases, feedback and formative assessment were identified to be effective strategies to enhance development of clinical competence.  Conclusion: Clinical education, using focused and structured processes, could ensure that students are exposed to a range of learning opportunities for development of clinical competence.

The article introduces the notion of a "meme." A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture. In education it acts as a powerful assumption, guiding what is meant by learning and teaching and determines that teaching should include a textbook, teacher-directed lessons, control of student behavior, and testing as proof of "learning." The article explores new challenges to this meme coming from current research emerging out of biology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience. It suggests that a form of project-based learning is more compatible with how the human brain was designed to make sense of experience.
