In this chapter, we use the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) to explore the application of universal design for learning (UDL) (CAST 2018) to health care education. We begin by setting a historical context of health care education. Next, we provide an overview of UDL, a review of the literature of UDL in health care education, and then…

Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to trace students' evolving knowledge states based on their learning sequences. Recently, some deep learning based models have been proposed to incorporate the historical information of individuals to trace students' knowledge states and achieve encouraging progress. However, these works ignore the collaborative…

This paper seeks to introduce a meaning-making process called 'sensuous abstraction' as one approach to aesthetic experience in line with Dewey's philosophy. Dewey highlights aesthetic experience as the best form of experience that integrates emotional and intellectual qualities to foster deep learning and insights. Building on contemporary…

This experimental study examined whether the uninformative anchoring effect, which should be ignored, on judgments of learning (JOLs) was eliminated through the learning experience. In the experiments, the participants were asked to predict whether their performance on an upcoming test would be higher or lower than the anchor value (80% in the…

Kolb's experiential learning cycle is typically applied in short-term, episodic snapshots of time, while understating the implications of continual, longer-term learning. This fixed-frame, episodic usage may diminish the knowledge that learners bring into an educational experience and the continued shaping of knowledge through future experiences.…

In the 21st century, teaching strategies, curriculum, and ways of presenting subject matter changed dramatically from kindergarten to higher education. The unprecedented global pandemic brought the concept of hybrid learning to the fore, although it had been in existence for over a decade. Hybrid learning is an approach to teaching and learning…

The theory of transformative learning (TL) has been criticized secondhand for its lack of clarity in capturing and explaining in detail the processes undergone by learners who are going through TL experiences and their link to learning outcomes. Using a case study design, and carefully synthesized TL processes (TLPs) from Mezirow's TL theory, we…

Learner agency is necessary for students to consolidate new learning. In environments where teachers and students prioritize learner agency, students actively engage in and take ownership of their learning. Students with agency seek relevant learning experiences, connecting new ideas, academic knowledge, and personal experiences. Integrating the…

This UK-based study examines how people learned to identify digital misinformation. This included what experiences enabled this development, and the skills that were acquired in the process. This is a small-scale qualitative study of participants who self-reported as being confident in spotting digital misinformation and the data was analysed…

Background: Community-engaged learning initiatives in engineering often struggle to achieve equitable outcomes for community partners because students in such programs often possess a design-for-charity mindset, which is characterized by an uncritical desire to help and the design of solutions that address symptoms of inequity without meaningful…

Background: It is crucial to support students in better understanding water and sustainability issues because water plays a vital role in maintaining global ecosystems, including human life. A wide range of curricular and instructional supports like those embodied in model-based learning (MBL) are necessary for teachers to engage students in the…

The problem addressed in this study was the lack of consistency among United States (U.S.) Army instructors' support for students with low self-efficacy in a U.S. Army online blended learning course, which has a negative impact on deep learning. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to gain a better understanding of the…

Traditionally, feedback is regarded as crucial in the context of learning and teaching public speaking. In the current course, we analyzed the feedback provided to students by an artificial intelligence (AI) coach and students' learning experiences in developing public-speaking skills via this tool. The MySpeaker Rhetorich speech coach application…

Purpose: Design-based research (DBR) involves multiple iterations, and innovations are needed in analytical methods for understanding how learners experience a learning experience in ways that both embrace the complexity of learning and allow for data-driven changes to the design of the learning experience between iterations. The purpose of this…

Pearson's Learning Foundations describe the optimal conditions for learning and reflect the learner experience Pearson hopes their products will create. Pearson does this by incorporating the Learning Design Principles. Each of the Learning Design Principles goes into detail about a key principle, supporting product design and marketing by…
