Epistemology And Ontology: The Lived Experience Of Non-Traditional Adult Students In Online And Study-Abroad Learning Environments, R. Jeffery Maxfield

R. Jeffery Maxfield

This paper examines the lived experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of nontraditional, adult university students enrolled in an online Emergency Services baccalaureate degree program, who were given an opportunity to participate in an engaged, study abroad course. The purpose of the analysis was to identify and describe the various experiences and perceptions, then group these experiences and perceptions into a logically organized description of the lived experience of adult emergency services students.
