Case/Real-Life Problem-Based Experiential Learning with Information System Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
The focus of this paper is case and real-life problem-based (Ewell, 1997) experiential learning with computer information system projects at California State University Stanislaus. The experiential learning occurs within a four-stage cycle: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The four principles and strategies applied to bring knowing and doing together are: concreteness, involvement, dissonance, and reflection. The paper shows how the four types of learning environments (affective, perceptually oriented, symbolic, behavioral) are implemented, and student teams guided. Multi-disciplinary aspects of experiential education, and drawbacks specific to the academic environment in assessing students’ performance in team projects are discussed.

متن کاملExperiential Marketing Projects: Student Perceptions of Live Case and Simulation Methods
While experiential projects have been documented as powerful pedagogical tools for linking theory to practice, it is unknown whether students prefer the experience to be real or hypothetical. This paper explores the impact of a real client-based project versus a simulated client project on students’ perceptions and ratings of the marketing project. Student perceptions of learning are also inves...
