Human Sustainability: Collaborative Learning For Health And Well-Being In The Academy, Edith Gnanadass, Wendy Griswold, Donna Menke
Adult Education Research Conference
This roundtable will help educators develop a holistic focus on their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being to engage fully with learners (hooks, 1994). Faculty affected by the global pandemic and stressors of academia took control of their work-life balance crucial to human sustainability (Sheared, 2019). Researcher One participated in a diabetes prevention program, experienced improved health and overall well-being, then used a community education model to share her learning with colleagues. The researchers are exploring their informal self-directed learning process using Prochaska and DiClemente’s (1982) transtheoretical model, Lave and Wenger’s (1991) community of practice, and Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning model.

Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
This session will outline motivations/incentives for chairs to participate in, create and support programs that enhance student retention. In addition, from IUPUI, several campus level programs and three department level initiatives, all of which have been shown to be effective in retaining students, will be described.
Development Of Peer Educators Within Paraprofessional Community-Based Adult Education Models: An Experiential Learning Perspective, Megan M. Seibel, Kim L. Niewolny
Development Of Peer Educators Within Paraprofessional Community-Based Adult Education Models: An Experiential Learning Perspective, Megan M. Seibel, Kim L. Niewolny
Adult Education Research Conference
In community-based peer education models, it is necessary to understand the relationship between learning, context and paraprofessional identity construction. Social relations are important in community education program implementation (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007); impacting power structure within communities and organizations (Cervero & Wilson, 1994, 2006). Drawing upon a current research project of community-based nutrition education, we explore the conceptual and practical role of experience in paraprofessional educator models and focus on the situated, contextual experiences of paraprofessionals in the communities they work and live as unique, challenging, and potentially positive for learning outcomes.
Using A Student-Centered Approach To Feedback That Fosters Active Learning And Knowledge Construction, M. Carolina Orgnero, Sandy Bell
Using A Student-Centered Approach To Feedback That Fosters Active Learning And Knowledge Construction, M. Carolina Orgnero, Sandy Bell
Adult Education Research Conference
The purpose of this roundtable is to invite participants to examine the ways and extent to which their methods of engaging students in feedback processes support a student-centered approach to feedback. The authors will introduce a research-based model of feedback that analyzes how college students apply feedback to their writing.

Case Writing: Learning Through Constructive Reflection, Rosemary B. Closson, Carmeda Stokes
Adult Education Research Conference
Abstract: Case-based and problem-based learning are seldom discussed in regard to their use in adult education practitioner preparation. Here researchers discuss a process called “case construction” as a means for master’s students to learn effective management principles.
