A Comparative Study of Experiential Teaching Methods in Chinese and American Preschool Students

With the international development of education, how to improve the quality of preschool education has become a hot issue of concern to all countries. Some researchers have found that the use of experiential teaching methods can improve the quality of kindergarten education, but there is still a lack of comparative study on the application of Chinese and American kindergartens. Therefore, the research topic of this paper is the embodiment of experiential teaching methods in Chinese kindergartens. The study found that experiential teaching in Chinese kindergartens is mainly used for extracurricular quality education, with educators focusing more on teaching knowledge and values to enhance the development of children's sense of community. Therefore, experiential teaching methods are often found in language classes and various extracurricular recreational activities, while in the United States, they are used to cultivate professionalism in various disciplines, with educators favoring the cultivation of children's interests and creativity, and teachers paying more attention to the children's learning and exploratory process. The application of experiential teaching methods in both countries improves students' abilities at different levels. This paper hopes that by comparing the application of experiential pedagogy in kindergartens in China and the United States, the two countries will complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, gain insights from each other's educational practices, and hope that educators in each country will strive for a lifelong improvement in the quality of preschool education.

The Application of Experiential Teaching in College English Education

As a basic education subject in colleges and universities, English has a direct impact on the effectiveness of teaching due to its strong practicality and dependence on context. Because of the changes in the development of the times, the requirements of English classroom teaching have also changed, and the traditional full-teaching mode can no longer achieve the teaching goals required by the syllabus. Experiential pedagogy, as one of the innovative teaching modes that are the focus of today's research, has been verified by researchers through trial and error and found to have real advantages in language teaching. Therefore, there is a practical necessity for the implementation of experiential pedagogy in university English education and teaching. In this article, I will collect and analyze the existing literature to explore the differences between the experiential teaching method and traditional teaching in university English, based on the concept and advantages of experiential teaching, and combined with the current objectives of English teaching, I will explore the specific measures of this teaching method in English teaching to stimulate the student's interest in learning and to improve the effect of teaching in English classroom.

A Pediatric Resident Advocacy in Complex Care Curriculum.

Children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) are a special, vulnerable population. Children with medical complexity (CMC) represent a smaller, medically fragile sliver (6%) of the US child population. Several professional pediatric entities direct (or require) pediatric educators to instruct residents in advocacy for all children, explicitly including CYSHCN/CMC populations. While many existing curricula address pediatric advocacy education, a gap remains in curricula specifically designed to aid learners in advocacy of CYSHCN/CMC. Using Kolb's experiential learning cycle as a framework, we designed and delivered a comprehensive outpatient complex care curriculum, including several didactic video lectures (total: 60:04 minutes, median: 6:25 minutes) and experiential site visits devoted to advocacy topics for CMC, as one portion of a 4-week elective complex care rotation. Residents completed pre- and posttests of knowledge and pre- and postsurveys to self-assess attitudes, comfort, and behavior; viewed didactic video lectures; and engaged in experiential site visits. Reflective statements captured attitudes regarding advocacy for CMC. Between July 2016 and June 2020, 47 trainees completed the rotation; data were available for 30 trainees. Residents demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge (p < .001), as well as improved attitudes, diversity sensitivity, and comfort in advocating for CMC postrotation. Qualitative comments showed overwhelmingly positive learner reaction. This curriculum, which can be offered as a stand-alone resource or a supplement to a comprehensive complex care curriculum, incorporates didactic and experiential teaching methods and addresses a significant competency in advocacy education.

Assessing the impact of business simulation as a teaching method for developing 21st century future skills

PurposeHigher education institutions are undergoing a change in their teaching–learning practices, with the core goal of giving students the necessary skills and competencies to succeed in a complex and uncertain society. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of business simulation as a pedagogical strategy for teaching 21st-century competencies to undergraduate students. The study looks at students’ self-perception on how business simulation impacts future skills such as entrepreneurship, employability and sustainability.Design/methodology/approachThe research incorporates a one-week workshop for undergraduate business students using AnyLogic business simulation. For this study, a 24-item skills-based survey was used as the instrument for eliciting input about students’ self-perceptions. To measure the impact of business simulation on overall student learning, a theoretical framework was developed and tested using SmartPLS version 4 for construct reliability, validity and hypotheses testing.FindingsBased on the students’ feedback, the finding shows that most of the 24 soft skills were facilitated by the business simulation used. The simulation significantly affects the development of entrepreneurial and employable skills. On the contrary, it has little effect on enhancing sustainability skills. In addition, the study suggests that factors like gender and expertise had little overall impact on the results.Practical implicationsThe most apparent practical implication of this study is that business schools should focus more on skill development by stressing on experiential teaching methods like business simulation to help students build various skills and become more prepared for the actual world of business.Originality/valueThe research presents fresh empirical data that add to the continuing discussion on active learning in business education and assist educators in avoiding some potential drawbacks of these innovative teaching techniques. With the right direction and criticism throughout the simulation, this learning experience has shown to be useful for everyone involved.

Heat transfer analysis and structure optimization of unit of flat plate based on a response surface test: An experimental teaching perspective in higher education

The Flat Plate is a common component of solar photothermal experiment and an important teaching tool in the new energy teaching experiment. Aiming at the problem of low heat transfer efficiency and poor teaching effect of traditional roll-bond flat plate, this paper conducts a numerical simulation study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in the ”Y” -shaped channel unit. The four parameters of width, length, runner parting angle and runner width are used as control variables to optimize the heat transfer structure of the runner. Taking the ”Y” -shaped channel unit as the research object, the finite element model of conjugate heat transfer was established by using Fluent. Through numerical simulation analysis, it is concluded that in the defined length and width interval, the thermal efficiency increases first and then decreases with the increase of the length of the heat transfer unit, and the pressure drop coefficient has a negative correlation with the length and width of the unit. The runner width has a positive correlation with the thermal efficiency and a negative correlation with the pressure drop coefficient. Then, according to the Box-Behnken principle, a response surface test for heat transfer optimization was designed, an optimization model with thermal efficiency and pressure drop coefficient as the response indicators was established, and the optimal element design scheme was determined. The optimization results show that when the subunit length of the heat transfer runner is 40 mm, the width is 35 mm, the parting angle is 60°, and the runner width is 11 mm, the thermal efficiency of the ”Y”-shaped runner is 0.782, and the pressure drop coefficient is 0.121. Finally, a direct-expansion solar auxiliary heating system is built to test the scheme. The experimental results show that the collector using the ”Y”-shaped channel shows better solar energy utilization, which increases the COP of the system by 15.2%. This study provides a reference for the design and optimization of other types of flow channels to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the roll-bond flat plate. Through optimization, the system has innovated in the experimental mode, effectively made up for the shortcomings in the training of new energy professionals, and enriched and developed the experimental theory system and teaching methods of higher education of energy and power majors.

A practical exploration of primary school Chinese Writing Teaching based on experiential teaching approach--“Underwater World” as an example

In language teaching, the development of writing skills is an important and challenging teaching task. Writing performance is not only related to the vocabulary and syntax that students usually accumulate, but also involves richness in terms of content, whichis related to students' experience and perception of context. Descriptive essays are one of the writing genres that include specific understanding and perception of space, time, and context. However, in traditional writing instruction, students usually do not have the opportunity to have a deeper sense of the context of the topic. As a result, students usually have limited expression in the writing process. Therefore, this study explores the application of experiential teaching method in teaching writing in elementary schools by taking the "underwater world" as an example. Based on this, an SVVR learning system was developed and a quasi-experiment was conducted in an elementary school writing classroom to compare the learning effects of this method with those of traditional teaching methods. The results of the study showed that the SVVR-supported experiential teaching method could improve students' writing performance as well as their sense of self-efficacy and self-efficacy.

Use of Translated Saudi Folk Narratives to Improve Reading and Speaking Skills of Saudi EFL Learners

The present study aims to explore how the use of translated Saudi folk narratives could help improve Saudi EFL learners' reading and speaking skills. (41) EFL elementary-level students from Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University were selected for this study to identify and assess the influences of the translated Saudi folk stories in enhancing the reading and speaking skills of Saudi EFL learners. An experiential teaching method using selected translated Saudi stories into English was adopted. The preliminary findings in the pre-intervention stage have shown that the students were neither motivated to read the content nor speak in English as the students encountered some kind of difficulties in comprehending the translated stories. The post-intervention results demonstrated that the students were motivated to read the Arabic stories in English. It also showed that the students were engaged to speak about Saudi / Arabic oral stories and culture. The effect of using Saudi-translated stories was observed in improving the reading and speaking skills of EFL Saudi learners. Thus, the study concludes that it is essential to use the translated Arabic folk stories as supplementary teaching material in the EFL reading and speaking classes. It also suggests that we need to translate Saudi folk stories into English for the benefit of Arabic and non-Arabic readers and speakers.

Reexamining the integrative approach to legal ethics education: the case of Hong Kong as an Asian financial centre

ABSTRACT This article examines how ethical values are integrated into legal education in Hong Kong, a prominent financial hub in Asia. It focuses on two aspects of integration: the integrative use of prescriptive and experiential teaching methods and the integration of legal ethics education into the curricula of law schools. Effective implementation of legal ethics education in Hong Kong faces challenges due to inadequate commitment to the integrative approach in law schools. While integrating legal ethics education into the curriculum alone is insufficient, there is also a lack of effective integration of prescriptive and experiential teaching methods. To address these needs and challenges, the article proposes a dedicated core course on legal ethics supported by seminars and workshops led by experienced practitioners. This approach aims to foster ethical conduct among law students, enhancing Hong Kong’s reputation as an Asian financial centre by cultivating a culture of ethical responsibility, which is vital for the development and sustainability of Hong Kong’s legal landscape.

Narrative Education Combined With Experiential Teaching in the Development of Empathic Competence of Undergraduate Nursing Students: Pre-Test Post-Test Design

Empathy is a fundamental quality that nursing staff should possess, but the empathy ability of nursing students in China is currently at an intermediate level and requires improvement. This study aimed to explore teaching methods for nursing humanistic education, that can improve the empathy ability of nursing students and cultivate high-quality nursing talents. This study employed narrative education and experiential teaching methods to develop empathic competence in teaching pediatric nursing courses. The empathic ability of nursing students was measured using the JSPE-NS scale before and after teaching and was analyzed to refine the teaching reflection theme words. After teaching, nursing students scored higher on the total empathy scale, perspective-taking dimension, and emotional care dimension than before teaching, with statistically significant differences ( p &lt; 0.05). Five themes were extracted from the teaching reflection, including emotional empathy, pediatric nursing skills, gratitude to parents, reverence for life, and course experience. The results show that the combination of narrative education and experiential teaching methods applied to pediatric nursing courses effectively improved nursing students’ empathy, strengthened their identification with the nursing profession, and promoted the teaching reform of humanistic education in nursing courses. The combination of narrative education and experiential teaching methods can improve the empathic ability of nursing students. This approach is suitable for integrating humanistic education into nursing professional courses and provides a feasible idea for developing humanistic qualities in nurses.

Using the field theoretical/interactional community perspective in student projects to promote the development “of” community

ABSTRACT When applied properly, theories can help us effectively and efficiently identify problems as well as practical solutions to those problems. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to help students grasp the practical applications of theory in the real world. Studies show this issue can be addressed by using experiential teaching methods. In this paper, I detail the use of the interactional perspective of community as a foundation to support community-based student projects undertaken in the area known as South Tifton located in Tifton, GA. The underlying success of these projects lays in the purposive actions the students and other stakeholders took to strengthen relationships and increase wellbeing of community residents. Students promote the development “of” community by reducing barriers that have constrained interaction among residents, college students, and governing officials. Based on the interactional perspective of community, this will lead to an increase in community capacity and action.
