Application and Assessment of an Experiential Deformation Approach as a Didactive Tool of Truss Structures in Architectural Engineering

Experiential learning methods are advantageous for students as they motivate them to comprehend structural concepts without complex calculations, enhancing their inherent understanding of static principles. This research introduces a novel, cost-effective haptic didactic tool to enhance the approach to teaching trusses to students in a School of Architecture. The primary goal is to address challenges associated with the complexities of teaching structural systems within the context of architectural education. The proposed approach is related to the most critical issue, which is the state in which the individual elements are under applied load, compression, or tension. The approach explores the deformation of the truss elements and establishes a connection between their visible deformation and the stress they develop under various loads. As a didactic tool, this approach offers an alternative perspective to help students understand truss function under various loads. Also, an assessment procedure of learning outcomes and satisfaction indices has been structured to validate the impact on students on the proposed educational procedure. The findings underscore the significant educational efficiency of the proposed procedure as a sustainable way to connect the structural engineering challenges arising during design courses and creative skills in architecture engineering.

Would You Rather . . . a Simulation or a Client-Based Project? A Case Study of Experiential Learning Methods in Digital Marketing Analytics Courses

The rapid evolution of digital marketing, characterized by the surge in digital channels and data, has amplified the demand for graduates specialized in digital marketing analytics (DMA). Yet, marketing educators contend with insufficient theoretical guidance and practical pedagogical methods in the course design that aligns with industry expectations in teaching analytics within the novel context of digital marketing. Addressing this void, this paper presents a case study operationalizing a practice-informed model through two experiential learning methods—simulations and client-based projects–in teaching these courses. These methods, grounded in three practice-informed dimensions (i.e., knowledge, hard skills, and soft skills), are incorporated to structure two separate sections of a DMA course over distinct semesters. Preliminary findings from student data regarding actual and perceived learning outcomes suggest a slight edge for the simulation approach over the client-based project approach. However, our faculty reflection delves deeper into the benefits and challenges of both approaches. This case study aims to offer insights and recommendations for marketing educators considering incorporating a practice-informed approach integrated with experiential learning methods to teach their DMA courses.

The benefits of codevelopment for talent management: a case study in the banking sector

Talent management is crucial for companies in the current business context, and yet, one of its components, talent development, remains largely under-researched. In this paper, we explore the relevance of an experiential learning method, namely codevelopment, as a novel talent development practice. Codevelopment aims to improve one's own professional practice by helping peers to enhance their own practice in turn. Based on a case study in a multinational bank, our results show codevelopment to be a parallel resourcing space that offsets certain organizational pressures, thereby offering valuable individual, group and organizational benefits. As an original talent development practice, codevelopment can also contribute to counterbalancing some of the downsides to talent management.

Differential impact of risk prevention training for work at height by traditional training and experiential learning methods

The central purpose of this article focuses on the analysis of the differential impact of training in accident risk prevention and safety promotion with people exposed to work at heights with traditional training and experiential learning methods. Methodologically, a quasi-experimental study was designed with two experimental and control groups. Procedurally, the workers in the two groups were previously assigned, highlighting that they received the same thematic training units for work at height, specifically with the procedure for work on telescopic ladders, based on the ANSI Z359.1 protocol against the Fall Protection System (SPCC); with the only difference corresponding to the training method (Traditional vs. Experiential Learning). The results allow us to identify significant differences in the level of learning and the performance of the workers, with the performance of the experimental group exposed to the experiential learning method being higher. From the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the findings derived from the study, the need and opportunity to enrich the training processes with the pedagogical component of experiential learning is evident, since it generates a higher level of involvement in the approach to the contents and the specialized training activities that have a higher level of interactivity and simulation of real conditions, positively influencing the development of risk prevention skills and promotion of safety in the working conditions of workers dedicated to one of the most frequently used modalities. accident risk. Keywords: Work at height, risk of accident, occupational safety, fall protection system, experiential learning

Conceptual framework for the participation of children in local area planning decision-making processes through primary geography education

ABSTRACT According to Article 12 of the UNCRC, children have a legal right to have their views heard and acted upon as appropriate. In Ireland, this applies to local planning processes concerning children’s localities whereby legislation was specifically enacted to recognise children as a group who were entitled to participate in the local planning process. However, while provisions are being made at policy level, children’s participation in practice is extremely limited. Furthermore, recent research into the teaching of primary school geography in Ireland has found that didactic and text-book approaches are significant with teachers neglecting to teach about the local area and to use experiential learning methods such as fieldwork. Through a qualitative analysis of current research in primary geography education and children’s participation in the planning process, this research presents a conceptual framework which enables children to participate in the local area planning process in Ireland through primary school geography. This conceptual framework provides a systematic and coherent way of approaching children’s participation and the teaching of primary school geography. The key findings from this research centre around the positioning of schools and particularly the primary geography curriculum (PGC) to be the ‘space’ within which children’s participation can and should occur. Enabling children’s participation in planning processes to occur through the PGC serves to bridge the policy-practice gap pertaining to children’s participation, building their capacity to participate, and ensuring the broadest possible sample of the population are included. It also addresses the policy-practice gap in the teaching of geography by ensuring the teaching of lessons involving experiential methods focused on the local area. This conceptual framework sets out a stepped, progressional approach to enabling children to participate in local area planning decisions by carrying out geographical investigations of their localities.

The Votes Are In! Candidate Debates as Large Policy Course Experiential Learning Method

Background: Like other professional training programs, social work pedagogy has long recognized the value of experiential learning for professional development. Despite social work's rich experiential learning literature involving field education, direct practice courses, and program evaluation, there is a dearth of literature examining how to make learning in the policy classroom experiential, particularly for large class sizes. Purpose: We asked, “How might electoral candidate debates provide experiential learning opportunities for large classes?” Approach: The authors organized municipal and federal election candidate debates attended in-person and online by over 300 undergraduate students in a social work policy class at a Canadian university. Integrating our experiences as instructors/organizers and a teaching assistant, within a social constructivist framework, we used Kolb's experiential learning theory, and critiques thereof, to analyze reflective assignments from 73 students. Results and Conclusions: Candidate debates, when facilitated appropriately, can encourage students in large courses to work through the stages of experiential learning and consider related concepts and possible links among social justice course content and social policy, social work practice, and political engagement. Implications: The paper contributes to a broader understanding of the opportunities and constraints associated with employing experiential learning in the large social work classroom and beyond.

Needs Assessment for a Resuscitative Thoracotomy Curriculum for General Surgery Residents in the Northeast Region

Resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) is a high-acuity low occurrence (HALO) procedure with which general surgical resident (GSR) experience and confidence are unknown. We sought to identify and describe this educational gap by conducting a targeted needs assessment for an RT curriculum for GSRs. An online regional needs assessment survey was conducted for an RT curriculum for GSRs. The survey was developed by a group of trauma stakeholders and revised after being piloted on a small, representative group of GSRs. We surveyed GSRs in the Northeast region regarding their experience and confidence with RT; interest in an RT curriculum; and content, format, and scope for an RT curriculum. The survey response rate was 43%, reflecting the viewpoints of GSRs at 8 major training centers across the Northeast. Only 13% of respondents were interested in pursuing a career in Trauma and Critical Care despite 97% of them training at a Level I Trauma Center. Twenty-nine percent and 33% of GSRs had ever assisted with or performed RT, respectively. Twenty-one percent of GSRs reported feeling confident performing RT. Most respondents (98%) agreed or strongly agreed that an RT curriculum would add value to their general surgery education. The most positively rated content topics were resuscitative maneuvers (100% positive responses [PR]), when to cease resuscitative efforts (100% PR), and morbidity and mortality associated with RT (98% PR). The most highly rated learning methods were individual RT simulation time (97% PR) and a tour of the trauma bay equipment (97% PR). This needs assessment demonstrates a lack of experience and confidence with RT, a strong learner interest in an RT curriculum, and a desire for experiential learning methods. Learning objectives are defined herein, and the next steps involve developing educational materials for an RT curriculum for GSRs.
