The Work-Integrated Opportunity And Development Tool: A Practical Approach To Maximizing The Value Of Work-Integrated Learning, Helen Hughes
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is a core feature of Business degrees and is increasingly common across other disciplines. Although the benefits of WIL are often promoted, students can struggle to connect learning from their WIL experiences to their progress and development, making it difficult for them to identify targeted learning opportunities, and communicate their WIL progress and achievements to prospective employers. Recognizing these challenges, this article offers an approach for those engaged in WIL that helps them benchmark and measure progress at different points in the process, thereby helping students and their Higher Education Institutions (HEI) to identify development needs and …
Transformative Learning Outcomes: Shifting The Learning Outcome Conversation From Assessment To Design, Mat Duerden, Jamin Rowan
Transformative Learning Outcomes: Shifting The Learning Outcome Conversation From Assessment To Design, Mat Duerden, Jamin Rowan
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
What if the focus of learning outcomes shifted from telling students what they will know at the end of a course to who they will become? Learning outcomes have drifted away from informing curriculum design to providing parameters for external assessment. This article reviews this shift along with a proposal to reimagine learning outcomes as transformative learning outcomes. It discusses previous work on transformative learning outcomes and proposes a new conceptual definition: learning outcomes that articulate habits of mind or ways of being that students will develop because of a learning experience or sequence of learning experiences. Such learning outcomes …

Conceptualizing A Teaching Motivation Model For Faculty, Jeyran Aghayeva, Matthew R. Wawrzynski
Conceptualizing A Teaching Motivation Model For Faculty, Jeyran Aghayeva, Matthew R. Wawrzynski
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
This paper presents a Teaching Motivation Model that conceptualizes motivation for faculty teaching. The model was informed by the self-determination theory, the self-control strength model, and the review of the literature on college teaching. The Teaching Motivation Model presents a more comprehensive account of faculty teaching motivation and group factors affecting faculty teaching motivation into three groups: environmental, individual, and institutional-level factors. Ongoing interactions between these mutually interrelated and influential groups of factors may either support or inhibit faculty engagement in a particular method of teaching. The model posits self-control strength, which plays a central role in faculty engagement in …

Be Humane – Be Human Disruption Of The Covid-19 Pandemic And Future Pedagogical Practices, Amanda Walters, Sara Evers, Suzanne Shelburne, Bradley Kraft, David Hicks, Peter Doolittle
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
The abrupt switch to online teaching and learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic caused a disruption to the instructional practices professors and students had grown accustomed to prior to March 2020. After 18+ months of virtual instruction, many colleges and universities returned to face-to-face classrooms. In order to understand how faculty planned to use their COVID-based virtual teaching experience to inform future face-to-face instruction, 436 faculty members from colleges and universities in the mid-Atlantic and southeast US were asked to reflect on their experiences teaching during the pandemic. These faculty members were asked two questions: Considering your COVID-based teaching …

A Narrative Inquiry Into The Experiences Of Nursing Faculty Engaging In Mindful Practices, Lisa-Anne Hagerman, Louela Manankil-Rankin, Jasna K. Schwind Rn Phd
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Mindful practices have been found to decrease levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout, while enhancing resilience and coping in those who engage in them. The beneficial effects of mindfulness on improving physiological and psychological well-being are well supported within the literature. However, little has been done to learn how faculty in higher education, specifically in nursing, may experience the effect of mindful practices. The purpose of this study was to explore nursing faculty perceptions of how mindfulness may influence their teaching-learning practices as well as their daily lives. Fourteen full-time and part-time nursing faculty participated in a three-part mindfulness training …
Examining How The Pandemic Impacted Opinions For Course Formats, Angela Kelling, Nicholas J. Kelling, Leebrian Gaskins
Examining How The Pandemic Impacted Opinions For Course Formats, Angela Kelling, Nicholas J. Kelling, Leebrian Gaskins
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Previous research has produced mixed results related to online courses with selection often driven by their benefits. However, some students and instructors were avoiding this format because of their drawbacks. Given that the pandemic forced a shift to online education, those reluctant individuals gained experience with online courses. Being forced into a particular format could lead to acceptance because of the experience or resentment because of the lack of choice. Therefore, it is important to examine if the pandemic altered opinions of online courses. The current study was a replication of previous pre-pandemic work (Kelling et al., 2019) and examined …

The Need For Quality Course Design In A Post-Pandemic World: A Case Study, James Martin
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Online course instruction remains one of the fastest growing sectors in the higher education industry but has been historically stigmatized with poor quality and low standards. Early distance education programs were heavily teacher-centric in design and were used as a means to disseminate information to students at a distance. However, institutions have worked to re-envision distance education through a student-centered learning approach to improve the modality quality. In light of the rapid shift to online teaching as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic response, there is a need to improve practices for preparing quality courses to support student learning in …

The Use And Functions Of Students’ Personal Stories In Online Discussion Forums, Nicole Albada, Sydney Jawitz, Payton Adams, Pauline Yang
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Personal stories serve learning and socioemotional functions in teaching. Instructors share personal stories with students to promote engagement, foster learning, and create a sense of community. Students may also share personal stories with each other for similar reasons. Thus, the current study explored how often, and why, students (N = 79) shared personal stories as well as responded to other students’ stories in online discussion forums (ODFs) that were part of a remotely taught adult development and aging class. The students ODF posts (f = 1,354) were content-coded for: (i) whether they contained a personal story, (ii) were a direct …
Student Group Work In Widely Interdisciplinary Teams, Emanuel Istrate, Shawn Soobramanie
Student Group Work In Widely Interdisciplinary Teams, Emanuel Istrate, Shawn Soobramanie
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Group work is often used in university courses. This article examines group work in a widely interdisciplinary holography course that combines both art and science, for students from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In these interdisciplinary teams, how much specialization of labor (dividing work according to students’ pre-existing abilities or personal interests) is acceptable? We present student survey responses regarding their attitudes toward interdisciplinary group work, and their practices in dividing the work, to determine how much specialization of labor is taking place within the interdisciplinary teams. The surveys indicate a mix of approaches among groups concerning the …
Building Cohesive Classroom Communities, Alexandra Joosse, Adam Barger
Building Cohesive Classroom Communities, Alexandra Joosse, Adam Barger
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Research shows that a cohesive classroom community, or the relationships built between students within a classroom setting, leads to a long list of positive student outcomes in higher education. This research seeks to better understand how to build cohesion in a classroom community, a goal that has become even more urgent given the student isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses the tool of social network analysis, a tool particularly well suited for studying networks of relationships, to examine how two common collaborative learning techniques—small group discussions and team-based projects—affect the structure and strength of the classroom community networks …
Using Stimulated Recall And Reflection On Action With Music Studio Teachers In Higher Education, Kelly A. Parkes, Ryan Daniel
Using Stimulated Recall And Reflection On Action With Music Studio Teachers In Higher Education, Kelly A. Parkes, Ryan Daniel
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
This article focuses on the issue of reflection for music studio teachers in higher education. Although stimulated recall and reflection on action are well-developed research fields in classroom education settings, the application of these methods to studio teaching is rare, a form of pedagogy which is heavily influenced by the master–apprentice tradition, with many teachers engaging in this practice without any formal training. The article presents the findings associated with three different studio pedagogues reflecting on video recordings of their lessons via cooperative analysis. Each of the three pedagogues took part in a live session with the researchers where their …

Evaluation Of Teacher, Self-Assessment, Versus Combined Feedback To Increase Students’ Behavioral Observation Skills, Jie Zhang, Marcie N. Desrochers, Michael Fensken
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Feedback is an important component of online instruction. Few experiments have examined combined types of feedback (teacher feedback or student self-assessment) compared to extra practice with each on student learning. In this study, the experimental effectiveness of four methods of feedback delivery on students’ acquisition of behavioral observation skills was evaluated—teacher feedback only (TT condition), student self-assessment only (SS condition), teacher-then-student self-assessment (TS condition), or student self-assessment-then-teacher (ST condition). The results, both for a random sample of individual learners as well as at an overall group level, suggest that the SS condition was superior to the TS condition. In the …
