This paper describes a course in which graduate students learn practical and theoretical aspects of educational-design. The course was enacted with 14 students in education. Outcomes illustrate tensions between students' professed beliefs about learning and their actual design practices in four dimensions that characterize the technologies they designed: Learner-activity, Collaboration, Autonom...
متن کاملEducational outreach as a simple, yet effective, service-learning opportunity for exercise science students.
SERVICE-LEARNING ACTIVITIES for students in the health sciences often involve volunteer work at local wellness centers, nursing homes, hospitals, and blood drives. While service learning is certainly known to be effective and resources exist to aid in the development of service learning, unfortunately, students in the exercise science (ES) area frequently have difficulty finding ES-specific act...
متن کاملDevelopment of a neuroscience-oriented "methods" course for graduate students of pharmacology and toxicology.
To provide graduate students in pharmacology/toxicology exposure to, and cross-training in, a variety of relevant laboratory skills, the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy developed a "methods" course as part of the core curriculum. Because some of the participating departmental faculty are neuroscientists, this course often applied cutting-edge techniques to neuroscience-based systems, inc...
