...to learn not only subject matter through traditional methods in a classroom, but foundational learning through experiences obtained directly in the workplace. The terminology used today for this student experience is referred to as experiential learning. This experiential learning comes in two forms, either (1) learning by yourself or (2) through experiential education (learning through programs established by others). You can kindly refer to learning by yourself as “nature’s way of learning” as it occurs as a direct participation in the life cycle. However experiential education can be defined more succinctly as a structured approach, using experiences and the direction of others to create the learning curve. The issue at hand is simple - does participatory (experiential) education create critical thinkers among our students and make them more aware of and able to more easily solve the problem(s) at hand? Our diligence has focused on two distinctly different courses in two different semesters (fall 2011 and spring 2012) in two different business disciplines (business marketing and entrepreneurship) at two distinctly different universities (Wagner College and Monmouth University) with one similar problem, is there a significant benefit to experiential learning over traditional classroom pedagogy? Our findings are profound in the respect that both the participating subjects (students) and the participating businesses achieved significant benefits when this...

...Experiential learning From EduTech Wiki John Dewey's philosophy proposed that each experience builds upon previous experiences and influences the way future experiences will affect the learner. The role of the educator is to provide experiences that will provide learners with meaningful experiences that will enable the individual to contribute to society. According to Kolb (2005) “ Experiential learning theory (ELT) draws on the work of prominent twentieth century scholars who gave experience a central role in their theories of human learning and development-notably John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, William James, Carl Jung, Paulo Freire, Carl Rogers, and others-to develop a holistic model of the experiential learning process and a multi-linear model of adult development. The theory, described in detail in Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development (Kolb 1984), is built on six propositions that are shared by these scholars.” 1. Learning is best conceived as a process, not in terms of outcomes. 2. All learning is relearning. Learning is best facilitated by a process that draws out the students' beliefs and ideas about a topic so that they can be examined, tested, and integrated with new, more refined ideas. 3. Learning requires the resolution of conflicts between dialectically opposed modes of adaptation to the world, i.e. reflection and action - and feeling and thinking. 4. Learning is a holistic process of adaptation...

...International Journal on New Trends in Education and Their Implications January, February, March 2012 Volume: 3 Issue: 1 Article: 13 ISSN 1309-6249 THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF INTERNSHIP PROGRAMMES IN AN ODL INSTITUTION: A CASE FOR THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Richard BUKALIYA Zimbabwe Open University, Mashonaland East Region, Marondera, ZIMBABWE ABSTRACT Several studies done elsewhere have indicated and concluded that a gap really exists between the quality of graduates produced and what the market demands (Mpairwe, 2010). For this and other reasons, training institutions and employers have accepted the need to seek mitigatory steps to bridge the gap. Among other steps, institutions of learning have introduced internship programmes also referred to as field attachment in some of their degree and non-degree programmes. There has also been the realisation that imparting the relevant practical skills is a partnership between the training institution and the prospective employers through student internships. However, despite these positive intentions, interns on field attachment have faced serious challenges among which are insufficient time and lack of funding for the programmes. It is behind this background that the present study sought to establish the benefits and challenges faced by student interns at the Zimbabwe Open University. The study focussed on two of the university`s faculties: the Faculty of Science and technology and that of Applied Social Sciences...

...give a keyboarding test to a candidate applying for a job as an administrative assistant. However, it would not be valid to give a keyboarding test to a candidate for a job as a physical education teacher. If a keyboarding test is given to the same individual on two separate occasions, the results should be similar. To be effective predictors, a selection device must possess an acceptable level of consistency. Application forms For most employers, the application form is the first step in the selection process. Application forms provide a record of salient information about applicants for positions, and also furnish data for personnel research. Interviewers may use responses from the application for follow-up questions during an interview. These forms range from requests for basic information, such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers, to comprehensive personal history profiles detailing applicants' education, job experience skills, and accomplishments. According to the Uniform Selection Guidelines of the EEOC, which establish standards that employers must meet to prevent disparate or unequal treatment, any employment requirement is a test, even a job application. As a result, EEOC considerations and application forms are interrelated, and managers should make sure that their application forms do not ask questions that are irrelevant to job success, or...

This internship opportunity encompasses tasks such as; Operations Management, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and human resources. It is through this exposure that the individual that obtains the position will experience an overall perspective of how a business functions. The idea about this paper is created for the intended purposes of providing an honest reflection of our thoughts about the interview. During the interview, I felt a tad nervous about the camera being pointed at me, it was in the interview that I had felt a certain unease about myself. This uneasiness was not only caused by tension of a camera pointed, but underlying factors that reflected moderate anxiety. As I left the interview, I had been confident that it had gone well, but recognized some minor facial expressions that I might have had made. When I viewed the video, I had noticed the facial expressions that I had made. In the...

...flcfReflection Paper #1 Inez Burrell March 19, 2013 The Experiential Learning Activity served as a significant tool to put the process of conflict mapping into perspective. Conflict mapping is a type of model that simplifies a complex social conflict such as the ones taking place in Voinjama, Liberia. It emphasizes the most important elements and systematically asks questions about issues, parties, strategies, and key components. When developing a conflict map, it is also important to focus on the parties’ grievances, trigger events, and root causes of the conflict. Although conflict mapping is used to facilitate the analysis of the conflict, it can actually make the process harder since there are so many possible answers. Each person analyzing the conflict may have different viewpoints for the components that make up that specific conflict as a whole. There are no right or wrong answers because each idea could be vital in solving the specific problems in that conflict. The reality of this became applicable during the Experiential Learning Activity because each group felt differently about the specific issues going on in Liberia. During the Experiential Learning Activity, the class was split into teams in order to analyze the conflict through the use of conflict mapping. As a group, it was decided that the parties involved in the conflict were the Mandingo and Loma. However, looking at the conflict in a broader sense it was decided...

...Developing Criminological Skills 40205/01 “People learn in different ways” Different people have different style of learning, David a. Kolb explored into the development of different learning styles. Kolb created his famous learning style model “Experiential Learning Theory” (Kolb 1984) based on four elements: concrete experience, observation and reflection, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. Concrete experience and abstract conceptualization are ways of how we think and transform experiences through the emotional responses. The concrete experience type emotionally converts the experiences through experiencing the feeling and concrete during the process. Whereas, abstract conceptualization type through planning, analyzing and thinking. Active experimentation and observation and reflection are methods of how we approach to the tasks and how we do. Active experimentation type, approach to tasks by actively doing the actual experiments. While observation and reflection approach to experiences by watching others throughout the tasks, and reflect on the situation. Based on the four elements, Kolb defined four distinct definitions of learning styles: diverging, assimilating, converging and accommodating (Kolb 1984). Diverging type has the elements of concrete experience and observation and reflection. Diverging type of people performs better in situations where creation of ideas needed, and collecting information. They look at things...

...Introduction TRA is an acronym that means Transfer, Retention and Application. TRA could be done using ADVISE model. ADVISE is an acronym that means: • A for analytical learning. • D for Descriptive learning. • V for Visualization of ideas. • I for Interactive assessment. • S for Split testing. • E for Experiential learning. TRA Transfer Knowledge is being transfer to the student using different methods as video and case studies and presentations. Presentations and videos are powerful tools that helped me in the past to gain the knowledge I need. Retention Group discussion in my opinion is useful method that helps retaining knowledge and information. Application I found through practice the best way to retain knowledge is to apply it in real situation or teaching it to others. ADVICE Model I recently encountered at work an incident that I had to investigate the reason for failing proficiency. Using Root cause analysis method (RCA) I first analyze the steps being involved in processing the proficiency samples starting from receiving to reporting the results to NYSDOH. I also had to interact with the people who handled the specimens. I found out the specimens was stored correctly upon receiving than was ordered in the system and labeled correctly. I looked at all variables that could affect testing process, from temperature, human error, reagents and quality controls. I questioned the technologist who ran the specimen on the steps he did to analyze the specimen...

...curiosity, creativity and self-discovery. Students are learning through whole group lessons in the direct instruction strategy, encouraged to observe and problem solve through indirect instruction and are stimulated to engage themselves in the active learning experiences of experiential instruction. Teachers are challenged to incorporate the most beneficial means of instruction for each lesson so that the students in their classes become higher-order thinkers, able to apply all they have learned to each new experience in their life. Direct Instruction: Teacher-initiated and directed whole class learning (Orlich, D. C., Harder, R. J., Callahan, R. C., Trevisan, M. S., Brown, A. H., & Miller, D. E., 2013, 348). The direct instruction strategy is a common method of delivering content, usually fundamental knowledge, to the whole class at one time. The learning objectives are typically built upon sequentially, moving through a set path of steps in order to get to the final objective. This method of instruction is beneficial to the teacher because it requires less preparation time, the teacher maintains the attention of the class and the objectives are reached in a timelier manner than that of the indirect or experiential instruction, where students are encouraged to take their time discovering the different aspects of the lesson. Indirect Instruction: Students are drawn to learn, seeking information and knowledge for themselves through significant, functional, and thorough means...
