Setting The Scene For Community-Based Learning: Creative Writing As A Platform For Inquiry And Integrative Learning, Adam Watkins

Journal of Creative Writing Studies

Creative writing pedagogy has received a surge of critical interest of late, though much remains to be said about its capacity to support trans-disciplinary learning outcomes, such as those related to community-based learning. Through an assessment of a place-based course focused on community-based learning, this article provides evidence that creative writing assignments can be an effective learning tool for cultivating community engagement and intercultural competencies. The educational value of creative writing, this study shows, has much to do with its unique mode of inquiry, which is well suited for integrating diverse perspectives, multi-modal research, and multiple ways of knowing.

Regard(Less) As A Feminist Pedagogical Practice, Kelly W. Guyotte, Stephanie Anne Shelton, Kelsey H. Guy

Feminist Pedagogy

In 2020, COVID-19 became a global pandemic that shifted everyday life, spatially, temporally, and affectively. As teachers who care(d) for students simultaneously navigating uncertain pandemic terrain, we found ourselves changing our practices to accommodate the varied complexities we all faced, and how those complex identities were already embedded in a socio-political landscape within a pandemic. With regard to these students, we adapted our teaching. Regard(less), we carried on. In this article, we think with regard(less) as a pedagogical concept and practice that playfully, though necessarily, shifts between regardless and regard. Though regardless we kept teaching, we did so with regard …

How Can Assessment For Learning Be Useful For Self-Regulated Learning?: Four Approaches To Change Of Assessment Conceptions From Individualistic To Contextualistic, Kohei Nishizuka

Pedagogy and the Human Sciences

Critics argue that theoretical frameworks for assessment for learning (AfL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) are sociocultural practices reliant on others/mediating artifacts than on individual psychological operations. However, if the broader context of learning is neglected, the developmental model for fostering evaluative judgment cannot cope well with the contextual complexity of the formal and informal aspects of learning. How students perceive assessment is strongly related to their learning outcomes as it represents how much they harbor a spirit of improvement, social stress, and cooperative efficacy. Focusing on the assessment conceptions can help us reconsider the purpose and function of AfL and …

The Writing’S On The Wall: Using Multimedia Presentation Principles From The Museum World To Improve Law School Pedagogy, Cecilia A. Silver

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

Law school pedagogy is a relic. Nearly 150 years after Christopher Langdell pioneered the case method, the typical doctrinal course remains predominantly a verbal domain, featuring lectures, Socratic dialogue, and final exams. But the visual disconnect between legal education and legal practice does students a disservice. Under the proliferating influence of laptops, iPads, smartphones, and Zoom, students now read, work, and study electronically more than they ever have before. So instead of business as usual, it’s time to embrace “visualization”—using multimedia to enhance, or even supplant, the near-exclusive reliance on language—to build a more vibrant and inclusive learning environment.
