Experiential education

Educational nursing games expose nurses to experiential learning. They learn by doing something, rather than just watching someone do something or listening to how something ought to be done. Student nurses, especially, will benefit greatly from these games. Institutions providing nursing education programs struggle to find enough clinical assignments, instructors, and opportunities for their students to effectively practice their clinical skills. Institutions may also be heavily saturated with…

The overview and description of this theory fits tremendously in my specialization course which is based in adult education and training. At the same time, I’m currently working with adult learners, and the andragogical approach has helped tremendously to develop skills and master my knowledge for the well-being of my students and my professional development.

away from the classroom (Education and Skills Select Committee, 2005). Learning outdoors involves engaging children through an experiential approach where they can become involved in physical, emotional, spiritual and cognitive experiences which help them to make connections between their learning taking place inside the classroom and the outdoor environment, (Education Scotland, 2011). Waite (2011) highlights the benefits of learning outside the classroom in primary education, stating first…

Abstract For a long time, design studio has been a core subject of architectural design education at all higher-learning institutions in Egypt. This type of education is based on practice and imitation; students solve problems and do projects through a process of thinking and doing.

Teachers alone are not responsible for changing those acquired individual attributes without the support and influence of their family members and their own willingness to learn. As I believe that education does not just takes place only in schools but also takes place outside the school environment such as their homes and outdoors. The social and cultural practices of the family play a significant role in his or her academic success and degree attainment. Teachers can help you learning, but…

Last year, for the first time my high school created a ninety-minute class at the end of the day. This change completely transformed my academic experience for the better. This is because the longer block allowed me to learn in a more experiential and hands on way. It was suddenly possible to visit a museum, have more in depth conversations, and learn from my peers. I believe that I thrive in this type of environment, where the focus is on depth rather than memorization, because I love not just…

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulder of giants”, the quote by Isaac Newton resonates my journey to realising the understated power of collaborative learning. Two experiences that were a highlight of my undergraduate degree were my involvement with Mosaic Fusion Forums, an outreach program that celebrates diversity, and Business-One UNSW, a student-run consulting and professional services group. Both these experiences allowed me to see how people with a diverse range of…

Cutting Edge Classrooms In Cathy Davidson’s piece “Project Classroom Makeover”, she voices her concerns about the lack of quality of todays education system. She thinks that America’s classrooms haven’t evolved enough to prepare students for our advanced society full of new challenges and networking. She argues that by adding more game play into curriculum, learning could become more engaging and interactive for the young students of the twenty-first century. Games are a way to add a whole new…

Discuss your interest in the EdD program and how you believe it will help you to reach your short- and long-term professional goals. Following the completion of my Master’s in Organizational Leadership, and through my experiential learning, and leadership training, I came to realize the value leadership plays in our everyday life; in school, as a parent, as managers of people. Leadership done right can guide all of us to improve our situation or a condition by employing leadership concepts.…

environments can be used in conjunction with contemporary knowledge building strategies, leading to greater innovation in learning’ (Digital Education Advisory Group, 2013 p8). Reflecting on pedagogy helps to deciding on what BYOD models to implement in education. Sweeney (2012) suggests that schools should focus on the following questions ‘What is the purpose of education…
