The flipped classroom is an approach to incorporate active learning that is being used in secondary education, higher education, and professional schools. This study investigates its impact on student learning and confidence in a professional degree program course. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate pharmacy students enrolled in a semester-long didactic traditional classroom c...

Exploratory studies in Collaborative Knowledge Management (CKM) across four domains have identified significantly expanded research requirements for experiential learning. This paper reports preliminary conclusions/propositions. The quality of collaborative (group) learning, particularly in experiential processes such as problem solving and professional practice requires innovative support of k...

How do small business owners learn from experience? Using a cognitive framework, we examine potential impediments to the experiential learning process of small business owner/managers. Supplementing this theory-building exercise, we present illustrative cases and suggest propositions for testing the framework, and perhaps increasing the efficiency of experiential learning among small business o...

Collecting (or "sampling") information that one expects to be useful is a powerful way to facilitate learning. However, relatively little is known about how people decide which information is worth sampling over the course of learning. We describe several alternative models of how people might decide to collect a piece of information inspired by "active learning" research in machine learning. W...

the main issues in any society are teaching and learning and main elements of this story are the teacher and the learner. there are different psychology schools in which any of them in turn, have taken many extensive researches about behavior, and facts and theories of learning have been studied from a particular perspective. rationalism asserts that the human intellect has the highest energy a...

Experiential Learning is recognised as an essential element of any learning situation at all levels. However, in the Humanities, it is perhaps true to say that the higher the level of education, the less frequently experiential learning is employed as a technique. ‘Role play’ is sometimes used and it will be suggested here that the online environment allows for ‘role play’ or assuming the mantl...

The demand for experiential learning opportunities for student pharmacists has been increasing in both Canada and the United States. The increasing number and duration of experiential placements in hospitals, combined with a limited number of pharmacist preceptors, may jeopardize the ability to achieve curricular outcomes. Many institutions use a 1:1 ratio of student pharmacists to preceptors f...

This article examines the significance of psychology to experiential education (EE) and critiques EE models that have developed in isolation from larger psychological theories and developments. Following a review of literature and current issues, select areas of psychology are explored with reference to experiential learning processes. The state of knowledge and emerging paradigms in positive p...

Virtual worlds such as Second Life provide new possibilities for computer-mediated communication, cooperation and learning because of their three-dimensional (3D)-environment and because of their enhanced interaction techniques. Based on the specific charateristics of virtual worlds, immersive perceptions can be supported, From a didactical perspective, these characteristics greatly support inn...
