Beneficial Approach

Abstract: This article presents Norwegian Kindergarten Teacher students’ and Kindergarten staff’s use of Digital Storytelling (DS), a tool for reflection and learning in higher education. The field of DS’ research focus on the use of personal narratives in the learning process, multimedia, and the creative process in developing identity and voice in a social context: the Story Circle. The frame is Workplace-based Kindergarten Teacher Education. The article is based on a case: student Yvonne’s work with DS in her kindergarten. Data is collected through observation and analyzed in light of theories on learning in practice, concretized to Kolb's experiential learning cycle. Results indicate that DS is a beneficial approach for facilitating both individual and collective reflection. A significant condition is that kindergarten staff participates in students' learning processes. Sammendrag: Artikkelen tar for seg barnehagelærerstudenters og barnehageansattes bruk av digital historiefortelling (DH), som er en arbeidsmåte for refleksjon og læring i høyere utdanning. DH kjennetegnes ved: fortellingens betydningen for læring i forhold til tradisjonell sakprosa, den multimodale dimensjonen og den kreative prosessen hvor fortellingen blir til i en sosial kontekst: fortellersirkelen. Rammen er Arbeidsplassbasert barnehagelærerutdanning. Artikkelen baseres på et case: studenten Yvonnes arbeid med DH i egen barnehage. Data er innhentet gjennom observasjon og fortolkes i lys av teorier om læring i praksis, konkretisert til Kolbs erfaringslæringsmodell. Jeg viser at DH tilrettelegger for individuell og kollektiv refleksjon for både studenter og barnehageansatte. Forutsetningen er at ansatte gis muligheter til å delta i studentenes læringsprosesser.

Teamwork and cooperation are important 21st century skills and therefore important parts of the higher education curriculum. Following Kolb's ‘experiential learning cycle' model a combination of project work and moderated reflection can help students to acquire these skills. This article elaborates how LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) an be used to stimulate and moderate student's reflection on their teamwork skills in the setting of a university course. A focus is placed on the process and goals of the LSP method, the implementation in the workshop and the benefits of using LSP for this reason.

Insight Into

Background. As classroom-as-organization (CAO) simulations unfold within corporate or higher education classrooms, novice facilitators and their participants experience uncertainty in the absence of familiar and implicit sources of trust. Initial trust derived from the context, simulation, peers, and one’s self wanes as awareness dawns regarding the magnitude of difference between CAO and typical classrooms. New sources of trust arise from shared sensemaking about unfamiliar roles and interactions, growing confidence in redistributed responsibilities and authority, an environment characterized by psychological safety, feedback, and behavioral experimentation modeled upon the experiential learning cycle ( Kolb, 1976 ). Purpose. This article examines the parallel experiences of participants and novice facilitators as they initially lose trust in CAO simulations and those involved, and discover new sources of trust related to the simulation design. Using first- and second-hand experiences and extant literatures on trust and teaching and learning, the erosion of initial trust is explored, as well as how CAO simulation design principles foster new sources of emergent trust. Conclusion. Understanding the ebb and flow of participants’ trust in CAO simulations allows for targeted facilitation and coaching. Novice facilitators who examine how their own trust experiences parallel those of participants gain insight into interventions and empathy into the participant experience within this fully-experiential learning environment. Empirical research is needed to examine the mechanisms of trust loss and rebuilding in CAO simulations in relation to the enactment of unfamiliar roles, routines, and responsibilities.

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.

This chapter investigates how platformization is affecting the idea of education as a common good on both sides of the Atlantic. The growth of online educational platforms has been explosive, in both primary and higher education. Most of these educational platforms are corporately owned, propelled by algorithmic architectures and business models. They have quickly gained millions of users and are altering learning processes and teaching practices; they boost the distribution of online course material, hence impacting curriculums; they influence the administration of schools and universities; and, as some argue, they change the governance of (public) education as a whole. The chapter explores how, powered by the Big Five, these educational platforms are pushing a new concept of learning that questions values that are fundamental to publicly funded education: Bildung, a knowledge-based curriculum, autonomy for teachers, collective affordability, and education as a vehicle for socioeconomic equality.

In this article, Lois Lamdin reviews current perceptions of ‘employability’ in the USA, the kind and extent of training sponsored by industry, and the difficulties perceived by industry in interacting with higher education in relation to training. She stresses the importance of recognizing the workplace as learning place, discusses the development and benefits of prior learning assessment, and sets out the importance of establishing a national credentialling system for the workforce, taking into account the variety of academic and non-academic ways learning is achieved. Finally, she describes the existing work of the Employee Growth and Development Programs of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, which demonstrate how business, unions, government, and higher education can work together to help respond to the crucial challenge of training and retraining a national workforce.

At present, with the development of entrepreneurship education, higher education draws more attention to students' learning processes and outcomes. Based on a scientific and standardized education system, entrepreneurship education requires higher education to provide students with more targeted, personalized, and flexible guidance to cater to their needs. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out personalized employment services and guidance. This paper aims to discuss how to provide personalized employment guidance and services according to the individual differences of students, and how to make the entrepreneurial education more diverse and get better results.
