Abstract

If you want the classroom experience to result in deeper understanding and new knowledge, then students must become active participants in the learning process. With new chapters on writing and the first two weeks of school, this book references the CCSS as it relates to communication and collaboration and structuring the classroom environment and offers brain-based teaching strategies.

Abstract

Doelstellingen: Deze verkennende studie onderzoekt wat tolkstudenten van de Master in het tolken en het Postgraduaat Conferentietolken aan Hogeschool Gent bewust ondernemen om hun notitievaardigheden bij consecutief tolken te optimaliseren. De actieve rol in het leerproces van de tolkstudent is immers van groot belang, omdat een goede notitietechniek naast veel tijd en oefening buiten de colleges ook een persoonlijke bijdrage van de tolkstudent vergt. Middelen of methode: Op basis van de taxonomie van Oxford (1990) werd een enquête opgesteld om te onderzoeken in welke mate de masterstudenten en postgraduaatstudenten leerstrategieën gebruiken om hun notitietechniek te optimaliseren. Leerstrategieën zijn immers een uitstekend hulpmiddel voor een geslaagd leerproces. Om het onderzoek af te bakenen werd voor de masterstudenten enkel het eerste semester van academiejaar 2012-2013 onderzocht; voor de postgraduaatstudenten werd enkel gevraagd naar het gebruik van leerstrategieën tijdens de masteropleiding van 2011-2012 en de postgraduaatopleiding van 2012-2013. Resultaten: Uit het onderzoek blijkt ten eerste dat zowel masterstudenten als postgraduaatstudenten inderdaad leerstrategieën gebruikten om hun notitietechniek te optimaliseren. In tegenstelling tot wat verwacht wordt op basis van de literatuur (Leermakers, 1996 en Geerlings & van der Veen, 2009) werd vervolgens duidelijk dat het gebruik van leerstrategieën of de combinatie ervan voor meerdere studenten niet tot succesvol leren leidde, aangezien zij geen positieve examenresultaten behaalden. Ook waren er studenten die geen leerstrategieën toepasten en toch positieve examenresultaten behaalden. Volgens Choi (2006) gebruiken minder ervaren tolkstudenten andere leerstrategieën dan meer ervaren tolkstudenten en volgens Abuín González (2004) minder ervaren tolkstudenten minder strategieën dan meer ervaren tolkstudenten. Er werd daarentegen ontdekt dat masterstudenten en postgraduaatstudenten dezelfde en dus ook even veel leerstrategieën hanteerden. Hierbij kan worden opgemerkt dat postgraduaatstudenten wel vaker leerstrategieën gebruikten dan masterstudenten. Ten slotte werd vastgesteld dat masterstudenten over het algemeen leerstrategieën even frequent gebruikten tijdens twee verschillende evaluatieperioden, terwijl dat de postgraduaatstudenten de leerstrategieën aanzienlijk frequenter toepasten tijdens de tweede evaluatieperiode. Gezien het zeer beperkt aantal onderzoeksresultaten kunnen er echter weinig conclusies worden getrokken en is verder onderzoek noodzakelijk.

Abstract

Designing for Learning in an Open World provides specific information and research for acquiring the requisite skills to both design and support learning opportunities that harness the potential of available technologies. Further, Designing for Learning in an Open World proposes new, innovative learning pathways, created to empower learners to blend formal educational offerings with free resources and services. The new approach and new pathways suggested by the author force readers to rethink the entire instructional design process, enabling both teachers and learners to take into account a blended learning context, now the norm in our modern educational environment.

Abstract

Many animals, including humans, acquire valuable skills and knowledge by copying others. Scientists refer to this as social learning. It is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of behavioral research and sits at the interface of many academic disciplines, including biology, experimental psychology, economics, and cognitive neuroscience. Social Learning provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the research methods of this important emerging field. William Hoppitt and Kevin Laland define the mechanisms thought to underlie social learning and demonstrate how to distinguish them experimentally in the laboratory. They present techniques for detecting and quantifying social learning in nature, including statistical modeling of the spatial distribution of behavior traits. They also describe the latest theory and empirical findings on social learning strategies, and introduce readers to mathematical methods and models used in the study of cultural evolution. This book is an indispensable tool for researchers and an essential primer for students. Provides a comprehensive, practical guide to social learning research Combines theoretical and empirical approaches Describes techniques for the laboratory and the field Covers social learning mechanisms and strategies, statistical modeling techniques for field data, mathematical modeling of cultural evolution, and more
