Experiential education

of state standards, it is important to understand that no two charter schools are the same. Under this charter school umbrella, a variety of different programs are offered, programs such as: Montessori education, Edison Learning programs, college preparatory programs, Edison Schools, experiential learning programs such as advanced placement courses, foreign language and schools that…

they must be clinically and scientifically prepared to handle national healthcare demands. Nursing education is a fundamental factor in training nurses who can provide high-quality health care services. Nevertheless, the existence of a huge gap between theory and practice in the field of nursing continues to be a worrying trend (Chang and Daly, 2012, p.261). To a significant extent, nursing education entails the combination of theory and practice. Integration of the two components is necessary…

also be exploring the instructional strategies that I would use to effectively develop the literacy learning of the students in my classroom. Literacy is the ability to comprehend the English language through reading and writing. The Ministry of Education (2003) defines literacy as “. . . the ability to understand, respond to, and use those forms of written language that are required by society and valued by individuals and communities” (p. 19). Oral language is also…

moderately prepared with regard to applying their pre-clinical knowledge and skills (ibid). To enhance learning experience and self-efficacy of medical students who are in transition from pre-clinical to clinical practice, simulation-based medical education (SBME) is increasingly being utilized for teaching clinical skills in undergraduate medical students as prerequisite or an adjunct to the traditional clinical clerkship program; thanks to the increasing use of technology in healthcare and…

include how you resolved any conflict which may have arisen or how you would have resolved any issues if none existed. As a 4-H program manager, I have been given the challenge of resurging 4-H professional development training and introducing 4-H experiential learning process to the Clark County School District educators. In the process of developing the 4-H professional development training there were two obstacles: 1) identifying which activities teachers would find useful in their classrooms…

An example of this that was shared with me was the timing of units to be instructed. An ecosystem unit is taught during the spring so the teacher can provide experiential learning opportunities outdoors. It was also brought to my attention that each student is assessed upon entry as to what type of learner they are. Mr. Marsh uses this to adjust curricula and sets priorities. I also observed that the inclusive…

One of the strategies I employ is the ‘hands on’ approach. The Experiential Learning theory underscores the role of teaching and practice as a way of determining whether pupils are grasping the content being taught (Honeyman et al. 2009, p. 347). I am able to determine pupils that are focused by simply asking questions…

been lucky enough to receive an education, and this I believe will interfere with my life as social worker. My goal is to work with families and children and I know more often than not they will be from low socio-economic status. Going to college will be more of a dream then reality to most of them. Most of these families do not have the income to send all of their children to college. With the right support these children or parents can and will receive an education. I do not believe…

well as an opportunity for teachers to enrich their own experience of mathematics and for professors to share their enjoyment of mathematics while learning more about K-12 education. One way they claim to be bridging the gap is by encouraging teachers as mathematicians, and by connecting mathematics professors with K-12 education (See the Math Teachers’ Circle web site http://www.mathteacherscircle.org/ ) On the other hand,…

situations or even improve them. "This brings learning alive. It makes it real," says Delaney. "One of the things public education has struggled with forever is finding real-life context. That’s what service learning does." And service learning produces tangible academic improvements. "We’ve seen improved attendance and learning. Real kids are more into the visual and experiential. They need to do it to understand it, rather than having someone talk at them," Delaney says.” Not only does it look…
