Personalized Learning: Tools For A Covid World, Karen Clancy, Whitney Powell
Personalized Learning: Tools For A Covid World, Karen Clancy, Whitney Powell
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Advancing technology allows us to personalize everyday life, from shopping and business transactions to information-seeking, healthcare, and education. Contemporary college students often seek personalized learning experiences that yield high-impact outcomes. Such experiences require successful partnerships between faculty and students. Case studies demonstrating how faculty/student partnerships helped students accomplish personalized learning outcomes are presented. The focus on personalized learning is even more pertinent in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The increased reliance on virtual learning and independent study may encourage and challenge educators to implement personalized learning methods to maximize learning outcomes and elevate student engagement.
Using Mind Mapping Activities To Promote Transparency And Engagement, Amanda W. Joyce
Using Mind Mapping Activities To Promote Transparency And Engagement, Amanda W. Joyce
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
While instructors often have the benefit of years of experience, students, as novice learners, have a more “sparse and superficial” content knowledge that does not allow them to organize their thoughts as well. Yet, this organization is important for recall. One way of encouraging concept organization is through mind-mapping, a strategy that improves retention by allowing students to graphically depict their knowledge. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the effectiveness of a series of mind-mapping activities on a group of students who completed these exercises during the Spring 2020 semester.
Tilting Beyond The Classroom: Utilizing Transparency Components To Develop Student Centered Administrative Processes, Casey E. Humphrey
Tilting Beyond The Classroom: Utilizing Transparency Components To Develop Student Centered Administrative Processes, Casey E. Humphrey
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Transparency in learning and teaching (TILT) has been shown to benefit student’s ability to be successful within the classroom. Transparent concepts produce positive outcomes within organizational systems as well. However, there is no research that analyzes how the TILT framework can be used to analyze and develop academic policies within educational institutions. This manuscript discusses the potential benefits of utilizing TILT components in the creation of academic policies and processes in order to promote successful student engagement within an occupational therapy academic program.

Student/faculty partnerships are essential to academic success. Key components of the partnership include mutual trust, respect, and open communication. Faculty can integrate debriefing and therapeutic communication techniques in student conversations to foster a collaborative learning environment.
Transparent Roles In Feedback In The Student-Faculty Partnership For Teaching And Learning, Leah Shea Simpkins, Shirley P. O'Brien
Transparent Roles In Feedback In The Student-Faculty Partnership For Teaching And Learning, Leah Shea Simpkins, Shirley P. O'Brien
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Faculty devote effort and energy promoting learner-centered opportunities that reinforce course content. Through the use of varied pedagogical strategies, appreciating the transparency in learning and teaching (TILT) process, faculty-structured learning opportunities can promote students thinking critically about their performance, building a repertoire of skills to advance learning at higher levels. The feedback that faculty provide and the format given can enhance student-faculty partnerships and success in the service-learning or practicum classroom. Feedback considerations for type (verbal, written, or a combination) and time are paramount to promoting faculty and student partnerships. The method of feedback delivery should be taken into consideration …
Lessons Learned In Designing Active Learning Modules For The Stem Classroom, Anna M. Christianson
Lessons Learned In Designing Active Learning Modules For The Stem Classroom, Anna M. Christianson
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
For students to become real partners in their education, they must shift from a model of passive absorption of knowledge to one of active participation in constructing knowledge. To encourage this shift, I have designed a variety of active learning modules for my introductory chemistry classes, from short participation polls to full-length case studies. When well-implemented, in-class activities can be a valuable experience for students to practice applying their knowledge with instructor guidance. In this report, I will share both successes and challenges encountered in designing student-friendly active learning modules in an introductory science course.
Using Individual Artistic Expressions To Enhance The Shared Learning Experience, Katie Salmeron, April Hatcher
Using Individual Artistic Expressions To Enhance The Shared Learning Experience, Katie Salmeron, April Hatcher
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Students as Partners is a groundbreaking teaching method which combines pedagogical elements from traditional, flipped, and independent classrooms. While ideally suited for small, discussion-style (fewer than 20 students) or even upper level independent study courses, this pedagogy is daunting to anyone teaching a large lecture course. Throughout several semesters of an undergraduate anatomy course, we have worked to incorporate more free-expression type assignments in order to allow students to have some autonomy in the direction of their learning. Within the last two years, we have successfully implemented unit-based coursework incorporating the key elements of the Students as Partners philosophy. In …
Best Practices For Encouraging Instructor/Student Communication And Partnerships In Online Learning, Amanda W. Joyce, Jennifer Morrison, Tanya Romero-González, Martin Kane
Best Practices For Encouraging Instructor/Student Communication And Partnerships In Online Learning, Amanda W. Joyce, Jennifer Morrison, Tanya Romero-González, Martin Kane
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
When students and instructors communicate well, students’ GPAs, GRE scores, educational engagement, personal development, and satisfaction with their learning experience all improve. Similarly, when instructors are transparent in their course decisions and involve students as partners in their education, student retention, academic sense of belonging, student-instructor interactions, and networking opportunities all improve. However, face-to-face techniques for student/instructor communication, like informal before-class conversations or in-class question-and-answer sessions about assignments, can be challenging to implement in an online environment. The purpose of this piece is to discuss evidence-based strategies for improving transparency and communication in an online learning environment.

Social constructivism is an educational theory that can be applied in collaborative ways to facilitate student peer teaching and learning. University faculty may be unfamiliar with how to plan, structure, and instruct students in peer teaching and learning projects while providing an emotionally supportive environment. This article will identify characteristics of course activities that promote peer teaching and learning. Two student examples of a three-component peer teaching module will be highlighted along with the grading rubric. This article also describes an assignment module that was offered in a face-to-face second-year course in a professional allied health program. These assignment guidelines …
Tacit To Explicit Knowledge Transfer In A University Health Care Program: Use Of Student-Professor And Professor-Professor Collaboration, Geela Spira, Allen S. Keener
Tacit To Explicit Knowledge Transfer In A University Health Care Program: Use Of Student-Professor And Professor-Professor Collaboration, Geela Spira, Allen S. Keener
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Student feedback indicated difficulty applying Occupational Therapy values such as “participation in meaningful occupations” into clinical interventions. Two instructors of a components-based course and a theory course collaborated to link practical OT interventions to conceptual OT models. Use of a model for transfer of tacit knowledge was utilized. Each instructor kept a reflective diary. An iterative process for a semester attempted to transfer learned explicit knowledge into an integrated intuitive ‘art of the therapy’ which incorporated Occupational Science core concepts. Worksheets were developed to make the pathway more explicit. By semester’s end, students completed a comprehensive plan for client care.

Students’ Perceptions And Engagement Utilizing Group Assignments, Kathleen Mae Fischer, Taran Thomas Williams, Joseph David Hannigan, Pauletta Gay Baughman
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Educators have a vast array of teaching and learning techniques available when planning classroom projects. When introducing lecture content, an educator needs to choose the method that focuses on maximizing student engagement while incorporating the students’ perceptions and needs. Research has widely shown that placing students in groups not only increases their educative retention level, but also maximizes student engagement skills necessary to prepare them for the workforce. For our exercise, we started by dividing the class into small groups. Each group received a specific classroom topic with project presentation guidelines. Next, we allotted students class time to meet as …

Teaching Personal Selling Strategies And Tactics With Popular Culture Examples: An Active Learning In-Class Group Activity, Philip J. Boutin Jr.
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
An original in-class activity to enhance students’ understanding of personal selling strategies and tactics was developed that was informed by multiple teaching and learning theories and techniques from the extant literature, including: active learning (e.g., Bonwell & Eison, 1991); social learning theory (e.g., Bandura, 1971); cooperative learning (e.g., Li & Lam, 2013); constructivism (e.g., Learning-Theories.com, 2015); social constructivism (e.g., Creswell, 2014; Vygotsky, 1978); and educational entertainment or edutainment (Rapeepisarn et al., 2006). For the activity, student groups select and analyze three scenes in movies or television shows in which characters use personal selling activities in an attempt to close a …
