Essay On Play Based Learning
Play Based Learning
Learning doesn't always have to be boring sat down with pen and paper. It can be done through playing.
As a nursery assistant there is a lot of paper work for us to fill out on the childs learning developments which can be boring for us but a lot of fun for
us. We can see them develop through differentplay activities. We use different materials to see them develop and learn we use these to link them to the
EYFS. There different sections in the EYFS which we have to cover these are; communication and language, physical development, personal social and
emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design.

Disadvantages Of Web-Based Learning
Web–based learning leads to the change in roles of teachers and students in learning processes. This is due to the fact that web–based learning applies
the concept of learner–centered approach in learning. To compare, in traditional ways of teaching and learning, teachers played a big role, which was
as the giver or provider of knowledge (Web–based Learning: Good or Bad?). Students during that time depended solely on teachers to give information
about the topics covered in every subject that they were learning. It is understandable because technology during that time was not as advanced as the
technology that we have nowadays. Therefore, another way of students to gain additional information about a particular subject was by going to
libraries. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As stated in the article of "Orientation to Web–based Learning", unlike in traditional way in learning which assesses students' achievement through oral
and written examinations, web–based learning introduces more innovative approach, such as through forums, online quizzes and e–portfolio
(Web–based Learning: Good or Bad?). This new assessment approach does not only encourage students be more creative, for example in conducting a
forum, but also helps them to improve their soft skills, especially communication skills and computer skills. This will then lead to the change in role
of teachers as those new assessment approach stated earlier would be able to overcome the issue of "examination–oriented teaching", which only
strives for students' academic excellence in examination.
Teachers can now focus on helping students to pass their examinations with flying colors, as well as polish their soft skills, such as leadership and
cooperative skills, in order to produce well–balanced students academically and socially. Hence, it can be concluded that application of web–based
learning has led to change in the role of teachers and students in learning processes.
Web–based learning is an innovative approach which brings various advantages to teaching and learning processes. There are a lot of advantages, or
prospects of implementing web–based learning in educational institutions, but the most significant ones are the flexibility, and accessibility and equal

Computer Based Learning
ABSTRACT
Learning is a process that is influenced significantly by the combination and interactions of three main areas of influence: agent, activity and world. A
number of writers have used other descriptions for these influencing factors. In the succeeding discussion of computer–based learning environments, we
have found it useful to describe learning using a framework of three mutually constitutive elements based on these factors which represent the actions
and activities of the different elements in the learning process: the learner, the teacher and the learning materials [Herrington & Oliver, 1996].
This framework of three elements provides a useful form for considering factors influencing instruction and learning in computer–based ... Show more

The evolution of the World Wide Web, recent developments in interactive software, and the emergence of systems thinking provide a unique
opportunity to create interactive, web–based simulations that address student learning. This topic explores current theory of mental model formation
and its role in student understanding. It describes the potential of computer simulation to enhance student learning, defined as a change in a student's
mental model. As web–based simulations are newly emerging, further discussion is provided in hopes of exploring the opportunities.
DISCUSSION OF CURRENT ISSUES
Computer based learning, as it stands, has plenty of disadvantages, but many in business and educational arenas remain optimistic about its future.
There are two indisputable truths about computer–based learning, or e–learning. First, it will revolutionize education and second, such a future is just
around the block. Educational experts agree that most types of study are not yet effective when delivered purely online, mainly because of bandwidth
limitations, expensive set–up costs, continued resistance to the medium and a shortage of quality course content.
Despite these problems, e–learning has already established a strong foothold, albeit as an adjunct to traditional, instructor–led teaching. The main
success in e–learning, is the improved standard of support that students receive. [Sydney

may have completed an e–learning course yourself. It may have been designed to introduce a concept or facts; or to teach a new skill, process, or
procedure. It may have been text based with some type of assessment, or it could have been a simulation or a game. It could have been delivered
asynchronously (self–paced) or synchronously (in real time with an instructor or facilitator). In any case, it included some form of media (text,

Adult Learning Theory-Based Learning Theories
The theories that I have identified to meet my phenomenon of concern seem to be best suited for how nursing students learn to develop and use critical
thinking and clinical judgment. The nurse educator needs to create an environment for student learning and theory–based learning activities such as
simulation, case studies, and concept mapping must be integrated into the nurse educator's teaching methods. Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory
(ELT) and Benner's Novice to Expert Model can be used as the theoretical framework for these learning activities. There are some other theories that
can be considered as well to explain how students learn.

3.1 Teaching –Learning Based Optimization: An overview
Teaching –learning–based optimization (TLBO) is a newly introduced by R.V. Rao in NIT–surat. It is an evolutionary optimization algorithm that
inspired from teaching –learning phenomenon of a classroom. It is a novel population based algorithm with faster convergence speed without any
algorithm – specific parameters. In TLBO each potential problem is treated as a learner with certain knowledge. The TLBO consist of two phases
Teacher phase and Learner phase, in both phases learner improves their knowledge from teacher (in teacher phase) and also from classmates (in learner
phase).
In section 3.2 Teacher–learning based optimization is described, Section 3.3 discusses the Teacher–learning based optimization, Section 3.4 describes

The EYLF identifies that children learn from their families as they are their first influential educators (DEEWR, 2009, p.7). Students can share these
experiences with fellow peers assisting them to build their identity. These may include sharing a family experience or artefact, which links into the
History component of the West Australian and Australian curriculum (School Curriculum and Standards Authority Government of Western Australia,
2015). Students can engage in their learning sharing experiences with their peers; however, it also allows others also to participate and make sense of
the world around them. According to DEEWER (2009, p.9) the EYLF states that children contribute to other children's learning. When an educator uses

Project Based Learning Analysis
I think Project Based Learning has a more positive impact on learning and understanding than traditional learning. When I was an elementary
student, I always enjoyed projects more than lectures because I was never bored. When I'm being talked at in a lecture about new information the
important points tend to go in one ear and out the other. I also know that I understand a concept better when I'm shown an example or when I try it
out myself. When I was in 3rd grade, we had to make a simple machine, in science. We had two months to work on a machine on our own time at

Programs under this strategy are the most commonly available form of work–based learning in the public schools that is designed to assist students in
making the alteration of careers. It features agreements between schools and employers to provide on–the–job experiences that relate to a student's
career focus. These experiences are based on objectives jointly developed by school personnel and an employer within the student's career area. In a
typical cooperative education program, employers provide paid part–time jobs in the student's career field. A teacher–coordinator of the cooperative
education program arranges placements, develops a training plan with the employer specifying what the student is expected to learn on–the–job, and
makes periodic supervision visits to the employer's business. The employer evaluates the student's job performance in consultation with the
teacher–coordinator. Cooperative education programs provide paid work experiences linked to the career/technology program the student is pursuing.

reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with 94% of respondents indicating strong agreement or agreement, and the remaining 6% neutral. As it
turned out, the act of giving the presentation was just as informative as the feedback, and provided for moments of realization on my part in the
midst of activity. As can sometimes happen, even a well thought out idea may not quite work out as you anticipate, either due to a miscalculation in

The Problem Based Learning Theory
Problem based learning theory has developed rather recently compared to many pedagogical theories in education. This theory was initially used to
rigorously test the skills of medical students by allowing them to become more involved in their learning rather than using the passive lecture approach.
(Savin–Baden, Major, 2004). Other schools recognized that this method addressed some of the shortcomings of the traditional instructor led classroom
format and adopted similar problem based learning approaches to areas such as engineering, science, business, etc.
The PBL model consists of groups collaboratively working together to solve a problem. The learner is expected to be engaged their group discussions
and the instructor facilitates the process by asking open ended questions. (Botty, H., Shahrill, M., Jaidin, J., Li, H., & Chong, M., 2016). While the
instructor has a more hands off approach, they are responsible for creating a classroom environment in which the learners "receive systematic
instruction in conceptual, strategic, and reflective reasoning in the context of a discipline that will ultimately make them more successful in later
investigations" (Gallagher, 1997, p. 337).
There are several ways to integrate a PBL method into a training and development program. Adults are more problem than subject centered in learning

Vygotsky (1896–1934) stated this idea by describing that "Apart from nature, everything around the world, including culture is based on human

gaining knowledge from past exercises and relating those experiences to figure out how to co–op with new circumstances. He also explains the
creativity as thinking along strange lines and breaking boundaries, utilising non–conventional ways to deal with the issues, going more distant than the

Learning ( Pbl ) And Work Based Learning
In our global economy, industry demands dynamic, adaptable and innovative workers to remain competitive. This presents a challenge to educational
institutions on two fronts. Firstly to keep pace with this requirement and secondly to equip their learners with the required skills and knowledge that
will enable them to either remain within this environment or to enter it.
Two approaches to learning that benefit individuals and meet this challenge are Problem based learning (PBL) and work based learning (WBL). Both
approaches are learner centred, motivating learners to become self– directed.
PBL originated in Canada in the late 1960's underpinned by constructivist view. Developed for medical students it became a widely used tool for
learning (EE and Tan 2009, Hmelo–Silver, 2004). In her paper Hmelo–Silver (2004) discusses the process of PBL, its methodology and the goals it can
achieve for both the learner and the facilitator. But a significant criticism of PBL relates to the context in which it is delivered. As PBL is within a
classroom environment it does not fully address other concepts required in adult learning situations such as political, social or historical influences
(Foley, 2004).
The early form of WBL is the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship, a word derived from the French verb "apprendre", meaning to learn, can be traced
back to ancient Egypt (Rorrison, 1988). This concept of teaching a craft has developed to meet the growing need for a highly skilled and

Play Based Learning : A Context For Learning
Play–based learning has been defined as "a context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social world as they engage
actively with people, objects and representations" (DEEWR, 2009). Playing is one of the most important parts of a child's development phase. The
characteristics of play include active where children use their bodies and minds in their play, communicative where children will share knowledge of
their play with others, enjoyable where they will be able to have fun, meaningful as plays help them to build and extend their knowledge and sociable
and interactive as when playing they will need to interact with others. Playing also allows children to interact with adults and this exchange of ideas
between children and adults in play contexts influence children's continued motivation in the experience. As children develop, the skills, values and
knowledge they have gained from plays will provide the foundations for the next phase.
There are considerable benefits of play for children's learning across all areas of learning. Play is often associated with the development of intellectual
skills and understanding. In play experiences, children integrate emotions, thinking and motivation that boost effective brain functioning. Children
often use their imagination when playing and this enables them to develop complex cognitive or intellectual processes. The development of cognitive
skills, including dispositions for learning, memory and thinking

Strengths And Weaknesses Of Student-Based Learning
Amongst theorists there is considerable disagreement around the effeteness of a student centred approach to teaching and learning. Kirschner, Sweller
and Clark (2006) state that student centred, or discovery learning is not an adequate approach to teaching. The main focus of their paper supports the
idea that direct instruction is a much more effective approach. They argue "minimal guidance during instruction is significantly less effective and
efficient than guidance specifically designed to support the cognitive processing necessary for leaning" (Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006, p. 76).
They believe discovery learning ignores the structures that establish human cognitive architecture. Kirschner, Sweller and Clark's paper does serve as a
reminder that student led problem based learning, in some cases, is not the most effective way for learners. While the paper has its strengths, i think
that within education learners need a more direct or guided approach to build foundations. Once these foundations are in place, student led learning can
be encouraged.
In contrast to Kirschner et al (2006), Ashman and Conway (1997) believe that learning is more than memorising, it is acquiring knowledge through
experiences and observations. They are very much believers that discovery learning is key to a learners development, allowing them to solve problems
and struggle with new concepts, aiming to build a learners overall understanding, but there is little focus on how you are to help

depending on already existed knowledge. In PBL, students use triggers from the problem to determine their personal learning goals. Then, they engage
in independent or individual research prior to work as a group (Savery, 2006). When research has been started, the students work in groups where they
discuss as well as improve the knowledge. Therefore, PBL uses suitable problems in enhancing intellectual capacity. Moreover, PBL is a type of active
learning, this is because it introduces students that problem pushes them to ask, and seek for answers, and then they can put together theory and
practice; in addition to communicating what they learn to others. Problem–based learning originally is from inventive health sciences courses and
established more than thirty years ago (Donnelly & Fitzmaurice, 2005). Medical education using science lecturers as well as clinical teaching courses

Project Based Learning Pedagogy
1) Which pedagogy is most comfortable for you and your current teaching style? What about this pedagogy appeals to you most?
The project based learning pedagogy appeals to me the most. I am typically a hands on learner who likes to research and gather information. I think
this is an excellent learning strategy because it allows students to get involved in their learning process rather than just receiving information. For
example, at my internship site, I am observing a 9th–grade earth science class, and it is apparent that the students are bored, which is why there are so
many behavioral problems in the classroom. I notice students sleeping, listening to music, texting and being disruptive, primarily because they are not

Enquiry-Based Learning Analysis
Enquiry based learning provides an opportunity for the children to have ownership and personalise their learning. These skills enable pupils to ask
relevant questions, to pose and define problems, to plan what to do and how to research, to predict outcomes and anticipate responses, to test
conclusions and improve ideas. (National Curriculum, 2000). These approaches can be used in foundation subjects and R.E (religious education) to
enhance the child's understanding and learning of the topic and to allow them to branch out their thoughts and opinions on what they are learning. In the

P.E is a course that focuses on developing physical fitness in the youth and is required to be taught in both primary and secondary schools. Enquiry
based learning can be implemented in P.E by providing experiences which allow the children to self–learn and self–teach which gives them
opportunities to practice and develop problem solving and decision making skills. It is important that enquiry is used in physical education especially
because not only does it improve mental abilities but also helps with physical development and knowledge of the body in action. "In practice,
personalising learning means that a P.E teacher is able to identify and support a pupil or a group of pupils who have limited understanding of the
lesson". (Armour, 2014). As a teacher, I could start of a lesson by questioning the pupils with "how many different ways can you pass the ball?" and
through this question the children will try out different ways on how to pass a ball and begin to learn through a leading question. With this, you could
get the children to play different games which encourage teamwork, set goals and think of things like how the body changes with each pass of the ball.
It is important to teach P.E through an enquiry based approach because it allows for differentiation and children to be challenged, helps them evaluate
and analyse their learning and create students who can be critical thinkers who

Labeling should be incorporated so that students can match clothes with ease. In addition, learning to dress for the weather should be taught during this

Method Used In Teaching Subjects in Tourism, the authors briefly defined adventure learning and the integrated teaching approach. Stefan, Orboi,
Banes, and Martin (2015) mentioned that adventure learning called for an active and interactive or collective cooperation of students in teaching; it also
encouraged teamwork and competition amid students; (p. 143). Additionally, they revealed that integrated teaching encompassed a definitive technique
of formulating and planning which generated connections between what students learned and life happenings (Stefan, Orboi, Banes, and Martin, 2015,
p.143). According to the authors, "teachers offered students the chance to express themselves freely and creatively, creating a stimulating environment
and diversified their personality development" when operating in integrated teaching (Stefan, Orboi, Banes, and Martin, 2015, p.143). The
concentration of the integrated method was to cultivate preparatory skills, transferable transverse principles beneficial for communal, and the
individual advancement of students. These methods were conducted with the intention of examining not only individuals but also combined collection
of groups on paramount local and global public issues to learn and develop: personal, social, cognitive, and cultural abilities (Stefan, Orboi, Banes and

used in education to help the students to become innovative, creative and productive. According to the Wikipedia, activity–based learning is acquiring
new knowledge, behavior, skills, values, and involving different types of information. In activity–based learning, the student understands and engages
with the information to be learned. They process information with higher level thinking such as comprehension, analysis, synthesis, application, and
metacognition. By this, the student is able to relate the information to any life situation, connect it with past learning, build his or her own knowledge
(Garner, 1987) and become a knowledgeable and contributing citizen as an adult. Engagement with information through activity is one important

The second article was published in the British Journal of Educational Technology and discussed the effects of using selected network resources in web

network resources on students' intentions about their information system usage by means of technology acceptance model (TAM) questionnaires and
learning effectiveness by analysis of covariance of tests in web–based problem–solving activities (Hsu, 2013). The activities used in this research
project allowed students to learn from the total process of problem solving. All of these activities were student centered and not teacher centered. The
subjects of this research project were measured on the basis of pre and post– test design in which each test was composed of fifteen multiple choice

Every student learns at his or her own level. When a teacher puts herself in front of a classroom she or he should consider all the different learning
styles in the classroom, and should plan lessons to fit needs of different students. With brain–based learning (BBL) considered, a teacher can make
lessons around different types of learners and therefore every student can be touched, and can be successful in the classroom.

The first way that a positive learning environment can be put in place is through practices and procedures. These practices and procedures should be
verbally gone over and also posted in the classroom. The practices and procedures should be put in place in the first days of school and re–visited
often. Secondly, the physical surroundings are important. From the minute the students walk into the classroom for the first time, they should be able
to look around and get an idea of what they are going to be learning about. Also of importance is to give attention to the classroom on a regular basis.
The neatness and organization of the classroom is important. Students work and achievements should be posted around the room. (Veverka, 2011)
Organization of the curriculum is also important to the learning environment. The teacher should not only have a thorough knowledge of the
curriculum, the teacher should also be sure that the curriculum has plans to include all kind of learning styles. The students should be primed for
learning. To prime a student for learning, a good attention getter should be introduced. Lastly, to enhance a positive learning experience, a team should
be built. The team should include approved volunteers, other staff, parents and grandparent, and others willing to be a support to the students.

The Importance Of Problem-Based Learning
The main responsibility of a nurse is to offer a various range of health care services which includes provision of health education, prevention against
disease, promotion of health condition and treatment of acute illness. (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying, Shao & Hui, 2014) They are expected to perform a
wide range of clinical skills for saving patients' lives and this requires student nurses to have solid foundation in their learnings. The problem–based
learning is defined as the learning that develops from the process of working towards the solution of a given problem (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying,
Shao & Hui, 2014) and its learning approach has been the focus in the nursing education for student nurses' academic curriculum. This essay argues that
problem–based learning and self–directed learning help student nurses to develop critical thinking skills and problem solving competency. The essay
also explains that both learning approaches develop student nurses to become effective team collaborators with good communication skills, which will

Dynamic Place Based Learning
The purpose of quality education is to prepare workers to compete and thrive, in a dynamic and global market place (Gruenwald, 2003), which can be

the skills necessary for thinking, learning, evaluation and creation, from a variety of sources, while the opportunities to practise these skills, requires an
early fostering, from within the school environment. Students need to see a connection between their learning at school and to the real world outside, in
order to capitalise on natural motivation that will inspire their best (Smith, 2012).

Gruenwald (2003) asserts that a relationship to place, fosters understanding of culture and identity and an appreciation to care, which is essential to the

interrelationships, that exist in school garden. This unit of work posits: "Who and what, lives on my school site? What can I do to improve the health
of my schools' ecosystem?" as the big idea to focus on. This focus squarely places the students into a systematic PBL experience, due to a close

According to Eraut et al (1998), the expression 'workplace learning', is a mainly out of sight element of lifelong education and one which has not
been accorded the distinction it deserves in strategy/policy credentials. Referring to their argument that the 'formal learning' at workplace (the main
focus of UK) provides only a small part of what is learned at work. Most of the learning that takes place is not intended and is non–formal that results

to look when the classroom with the supplies were available, the teacher then would be able to sign up for when they can use this room. This option
would help any of the teacher to already have a set time to use this room for problem based learning. The next thing my group discussed was about

Project–based learning suggests that curriculum should begin with a comfortable learning environment, asking questions instead of lecturing
(Markham, 2012). Virginia has identifiable standards designed specifically for four–year–old students, named "Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early
Learning" (2013). They also use the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) program to assess developmental milestones (Virginia's
Foundation Blocks for Early Learning: Comprehensive Standards for Four–Year–Olds). "Intentional learning" allows teachers to selectively implement
activities that identify the standards and help each child's learning style (Sherwood & Freshwater, 2006, p. 3).

For example, asking the students how many pigs were in the story or to estimate the amount of bricks used on one of the pig's houses. Some students
will respond by individually counting and others may view the manipulatives and instantly say the number aloud. Teaching Strategies assesses a child's

Early Learning in Personal & Social Development: this section of Virginia's Pre–K standards has 5 components: (1) self–concept; (2) self–regulation;
(3) approaches to learning; (4) interactions with others; and (5) social problem solving (Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early Learning:

The adult learning theory suggests that adults learn differently than children. According to Nursing: A concept
–based (2015), the differences in which
adults and children differ are by self–concept, experience, readiness to learn, and time perspective (p. 2502). Before this theory, it was thought that
adults and children could be taught by the same learning style. After research, it is shown that adults have a differently way of thinking, which leads
them to be taught different in order for them to learn compared to the way children learn. There are several reasons as to why the adult learning theory
suggests adults learn different from children. By adulthood, Nursing: A concept–based (2015) suggest that "adults already have accumulated life

Adults also realize that they are responsible for their own decisions and would much rather be given the option to being self–directed (Nursing: A
concept–based, 2015, p. 2502). In order for adults to want to learn, they need a reason behind it. Adults should be instructed as to why they need to
know the information. To be able to be taught, the adult has to be ready to learn. It is hard to teach someone something when they have no desire to
want to learn. Nursing: A concept–based (2015) states that "Adults are life centered, task centered, or problem centered in their approach to learning"
(p. 2502). Adults tend to have the readiness to learn if they know it is going to benefit themselves. They also need to have the motivation to be taught.

Teaching-Learning Based Optimization Algorithm
Teachingв€’Learning
–Based Optimization Algorithm
TLBO is a recently proposed meta–heuristic that imitates a successful and dynamic educational strategy in a classroom [29–31]. Similar to most
evolutionary algorithms, TLBO is a population–based algorithm. The population consists of some students and a teacher. The teacher is the most
knowledgeable one in the population.
The main advantage of this algorithm over other evolutionary algorithms is that TLBO has no adjustable parameters, so there is no need to design a
tuning mechanism for the parameters. The educational strategy of this algorithm includes both direct and interactive instruction. Actually, not only can
the students be affected by their teacher, but also they can affect each other.
TLBO algorithm can be divided into two phases: 1– Teaching phase (direct instruction) 2– Learning phase (interactive instruction). In the teaching
phase, the teacher provides information for all the students and the students learn from their teacher, while in the learning phase they can learn from
each other and develop their skills. The pseudo code of the proposed TLBO algorithm is shown in Figure 1. Teaching phase
The best member is selected as the teacher in each iteration. The teacher trains his/her students. In practice the teacher can only improve the mean of
the students' knowledge. Students' improvement depends on the students' aptitude for learning. The knowledge of each student is changed according

  • 2. Disadvantages Of Web-Based Learning Web–based learning leads to the change in roles of teachers and students in learning processes. This is due to the fact that web–based learning applies the concept of learner–centered approach in learning. To compare, in traditional ways of teaching and learning, teachers played a big role, which was as the giver or provider of knowledge (Web–based Learning: Good or Bad?). Students during that time depended solely on teachers to give information about the topics covered in every subject that they were learning. It is understandable because technology during that time was not as advanced as the technology that we have nowadays. Therefore, another way of students to gain additional information about a particular subject was by going to libraries. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As stated in the article of "Orientation to Web–based Learning", unlike in traditional way in learning which assesses students' achievement through oral and written examinations, web–based learning introduces more innovative approach, such as through forums, online quizzes and e–portfolio (Web–based Learning: Good or Bad?). This new assessment approach does not only encourage students be more creative, for example in conducting a forum, but also helps them to improve their soft skills, especially communication skills and computer skills. This will then lead to the change in role of teachers as those new assessment approach stated earlier would be able to overcome the issue of "examination–oriented teaching", which only strives for students' academic excellence in examination. Teachers can now focus on helping students to pass their examinations with flying colors, as well as polish their soft skills, such as leadership and cooperative skills, in order to produce well–balanced students academically and socially. Hence, it can be concluded that application of web–based learning has led to change in the role of teachers and students in learning processes. Web–based learning is an innovative approach which brings various advantages to teaching and learning processes. There are a lot of advantages, or prospects of implementing web–based learning in educational institutions, but the most significant ones are the flexibility, and accessibility and equal opportunity for ...

  • 3. Computer Based Learning ABSTRACT Learning is a process that is influenced significantly by the combination and interactions of three main areas of influence: agent, activity and world. A number of writers have used other descriptions for these influencing factors. In the succeeding discussion of computer–based learning environments, we have found it useful to describe learning using a framework of three mutually constitutive elements based on these factors which represent the actions and activities of the different elements in the learning process: the learner, the teacher and the learning materials [Herrington & Oliver, 1996]. This framework of three elements provides a useful form for considering factors influencing instruction and learning in computer–based ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... [Herrington & Oliver, 1996] The evolution of the World Wide Web, recent developments in interactive software, and the emergence of systems thinking provide a unique opportunity to create interactive, web–based simulations that address student learning. This topic explores current theory of mental model formation and its role in student understanding. It describes the potential of computer simulation to enhance student learning, defined as a change in a student's mental model. As web–based simulations are newly emerging, further discussion is provided in hopes of exploring the opportunities. DISCUSSION OF CURRENT ISSUES Computer based learning, as it stands, has plenty of disadvantages, but many in business and educational arenas remain optimistic about its future. There are two indisputable truths about computer–based learning, or e–learning. First, it will revolutionize education and second, such a future is just around the block. Educational experts agree that most types of study are not yet effective when delivered purely online, mainly because of bandwidth limitations, expensive set–up costs, continued resistance to the medium and a shortage of quality course content. Despite these problems, e–learning has already established a strong foothold, albeit as an adjunct to traditional, instructor–led teaching. The main success in e–learning, is the improved standard of support that students receive. [Sydney ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

You may have completed an e–learning course yourself. It may have been designed to introduce a concept or facts; or to teach a new skill, process, or procedure. It may have been text based with some type of assessment, or it could have been a simulation or a game. It could have been delivered asynchronously (self–paced) or synchronously (in real time with an instructor or facilitator). In any case, it included some form of media (text, graphics, video, narration) and had some common design features. In general, some features of e–learning include the following.

  • 7. Adult Learning Theory-Based Learning Theories The theories that I have identified to meet my phenomenon of concern seem to be best suited for how nursing students learn to develop and use critical thinking and clinical judgment. The nurse educator needs to create an environment for student learning and theory–based learning activities such as simulation, case studies, and concept mapping must be integrated into the nurse educator's teaching methods. Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) and Benner's Novice to Expert Model can be used as the theoretical framework for these learning activities. There are some other theories that can be considered as well to explain how students learn.

Students can engage in their learning sharing experiences with their peers; however, it also allows others also to participate and make sense of the world around them. According to DEEWER (2009, p.9) the EYLF states that children contribute to other children's learning.

Programs under this strategy are the most commonly available form of work–based learning in the public schools that is designed to assist students in making the alteration of careers. It features agreements between schools and employers to provide on–the–job experiences that relate to a student's career focus. These experiences are based on objectives jointly developed by school personnel and an employer within the student's career area. In a typical cooperative education program, employers provide paid part–time jobs in the student's career field. A teacher–coordinator of the cooperative education program arranges placements, develops a training plan with the employer specifying what the student is expected to learn on–the–job, and makes periodic supervision visits to the employer's business. The employer evaluates the student's job performance in consultation with the teacher–coordinator.

But though , Willis (1996) suggested that before the 80's that the model of PPP ( Presentation , Practice and Performance) was the traditional way of learning and teaching activity .

Through this step , the real world is coming into the classroom and it brings new information about the target language and for this reason , the learners ,via these activities , see what they have learnt .

Again , the teacher is the person who conducts the classroom because he is the one who makes the learners start and continue on their own . But what kind of tasks should a teacher use ? There is a big variety of tasks .

  • 16. Teaching Session On Problem Based Learning I appreciated the opportunity to deliver a teaching session on Problem–Based Learning (PBL) for my classmates. As can be seen in Tables 1 and 2, reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with 94% of respondents indicating strong agreement or agreement, and the remaining 6% neutral. As it turned out, the act of giving the presentation was just as informative as the feedback, and provided for moments of realization on my part in the midst of activity. As can sometimes happen, even a well thought out idea may not quite work out as you anticipate, either due to a miscalculation in design or failure to engage students. I wanted to begin with a PBL activity as a way to introduce the idea, structure, and use of PBL prior to actually defining the method. In the end this strategy was largely successful, with students sharing, as can be seen in Table 3 outlining comments, "The activity was good" and "I loved the activity up front and that we were doing PBL before we knew it!" That said, one student did offer the "first convo was a little shaky; mostly because we were all tired." For my part, in the midst of the activity I could see some hesitation in students' eyes. It was not complete confusion, but the look of people cast into the unknown. This, I realized in the moment, should probably be anticipated each time you try something new in class, or that this may simply be how PBL plays out when new to students. I improvised and began to offer information as needed, but if I had this ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 17. The Problem Based Learning Theory Problem based learning theory has developed rather recently compared to many pedagogical theories in education. This theory was initially used to rigorously test the skills of medical students by allowing them to become more involved in their learning rather than using the passive lecture approach.

Other schools recognized that this method addressed some of the shortcomings of the traditional instructor led classroom format and adopted similar problem based learning approaches to areas such as engineering, science, business, etc. The PBL model consists of groups collaboratively working together to solve a problem. The learner is expected to be engaged their group discussions and the instructor facilitates the process by asking open ended questions. (Botty, H., Shahrill, M., Jaidin, J., Li, H., & Chong, M., 2016). While the instructor has a more hands off approach, they are responsible for creating a classroom environment in which the learners "receive systematic instruction in conceptual, strategic, and reflective reasoning in the context of a discipline that will ultimately make them more successful in later investigations" (Gallagher, 1997, p. 337). There are several ways to integrate a PBL method into a training and development program. Adults are more problem than subject centered in learning so the PBL method is a natural fit to the learning styles of the audience. Furthermore, PBL is preferred by adults because it is more engaging and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 21. Learning ( Pbl ) And Work Based Learning In our global economy, industry demands dynamic, adaptable and innovative workers to remain competitive. This presents a challenge to educational institutions on two fronts. Firstly to keep pace with this requirement and secondly to equip their learners with the required skills and knowledge that will enable them to either remain within this environment or to enter it. Two approaches to learning that benefit individuals and meet this challenge are Problem based learning (PBL) and work based learning (WBL). Both approaches are learner centred, motivating learners to become self– directed. PBL originated in Canada in the late 1960's underpinned by constructivist view. Developed for medical students it became a widely used tool for learning (EE and Tan 2009, Hmelo–Silver, 2004). In her paper Hmelo–Silver (2004) discusses the process of PBL, its methodology and the goals it can achieve for both the learner and the facilitator. But a significant criticism of PBL relates to the context in which it is delivered. As PBL is within a classroom environment it does not fully address other concepts required in adult learning situations such as political, social or historical influences (Foley, 2004). The early form of WBL is the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship, a word derived from the French verb "apprendre", meaning to learn, can be traced back to ancient Egypt (Rorrison, 1988).

Play Based Learning : A Context For Learning Play–based learning has been defined as "a context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social world as they engage actively with people, objects and representations" (DEEWR, 2009). Playing is one of the most important parts of a child's development phase. The characteristics of play include active where children use their bodies and minds in their play, communicative where children will share knowledge of their play with others, enjoyable where they will be able to have fun, meaningful as plays help them to build and extend their knowledge and sociable and interactive as when playing they will need to interact with others. Playing also allows children to interact with adults and this exchange of ideas between children and adults in play contexts influence children's continued motivation in the experience. As children develop, the skills, values and knowledge they have gained from plays will provide the foundations for the next phase. There are considerable benefits of play for children's learning across all areas of learning. Play is often associated with the development of intellectual skills and understanding. In play experiences, children integrate emotions, thinking and motivation that boost effective brain functioning. Children often use their imagination when playing and this enables them to develop complex cognitive or intellectual processes.

  • 24. Strengths And Weaknesses Of Student-Based Learning Amongst theorists there is considerable disagreement around the effeteness of a student centred approach to teaching and learning. Kirschner, Sweller and Clark (2006) state that student centred, or discovery learning is not an adequate approach to teaching. The main focus of their paper supports the idea that direct instruction is a much more effective approach. They argue "minimal guidance during instruction is significantly less effective and efficient than guidance specifically designed to support the cognitive processing necessary for leaning" (Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006, p. 76). They believe discovery learning ignores the structures that establish human cognitive architecture. Kirschner, Sweller and Clark's paper does serve as a reminder that student led problem based learning, in some cases, is not the most effective way for learners. While the paper has its strengths, i think that within education learners need a more direct or guided approach to build foundations. Once these foundations are in place, student led learning can be encouraged. In contrast to Kirschner et al (2006), Ashman and Conway (1997) believe that learning is more than memorising, it is acquiring knowledge through experiences and observations. They are very much believers that discovery learning is key to a learners development, allowing them to solve problems and struggle with new concepts, aiming to build a learners overall understanding, but there is little focus on how you are to help ...

  • 25. Problem Based Learning ( Pbl ) Problem–based learning (PBL) refers to a learning cycle where learners first encounter the problem, as opposed to the instructor initially providing information to solve a latter problem (Savery, 2006). As the result, students search for the information required to solve the problem instead of depending on already existed knowledge. In PBL, students use triggers from the problem to determine their personal learning goals. Then, they engage in independent or individual research prior to work as a group (Savery, 2006). When research has been started, the students work in groups where they discuss as well as improve the knowledge. Therefore, PBL uses suitable problems in enhancing intellectual capacity. Moreover, PBL is a type of active learning, this is because it introduces students that problem pushes them to ask, and seek for answers, and then they can put together theory and practice; in addition to communicating what they learn to others. Problem–based learning originally is from inventive health sciences courses and established more than thirty years ago (Donnelly & Fitzmaurice, 2005).

Enquiry based learning can be implemented in P.E by providing experiences which allow the children to self–learn and self–teach which gives them opportunities to practice and develop problem solving and decision making skills. It is important that enquiry is used in physical education especially because not only does it improve mental abilities but also helps with physical development and knowledge of the body in action. "In practice, personalising learning means that a P.E teacher is able to identify and support a pupil or a group of pupils who have limited understanding of the lesson". (Armour, 2014). As a teacher, I could start of a lesson by questioning the pupils with "how many different ways can you pass the ball?" and through this question the children will try out different ways on how to pass a ball and begin to learn through a leading question. With this, you could get the children to play different games which encourage teamwork, set goals and think of things like how the body changes with each pass of the ball.

Nursing: A concept–based (2015) states that "Adults are life centered, task centered, or problem centered in their approach to learning" (p. 2502). Adults tend to have the readiness to learn if they know it is going to benefit themselves. They also need to have the motivation to be taught. Some examples of internal pressures include enhanced self–esteem, quality of life, or a better job satisfaction (Nursing: A concept–based, 2015, p ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. Advantages Of Inquiry Based Learning 2.4.4 Advantages of Inquiry Based Learning A research journal of English teaching made by Sandra (2014) in titled "The Use of Inquiry Based learning to Foster Students' Centered Learning ", in this study she stated that there are some advantages of using inquiry based learning as strategy in teaching learning process. Learning becomes more alive and more active student. Encourage students to think and work on his own initiative, to be honest, objective, and open. Avoid the traditional way of learning, the teacher as the master class. Students learn to take advantage of a variety of learning resources. Train students to learn on their own with the positive so that it can develop democracy education. In the discussion of such an inquiry, the teacher can know the depth of students' knowledge and understanding of the concepts being discussed. In addition from Patricia (2013) in her study about "Inquiry Based Learning in Science Class" stated that there are three advantages of inquiry based learning. First, this strategy is a learning strategy that emphasizes the development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor a balanced way, so that learning through this ...

  • 42. Teaching-Learning Based Optimization Algorithm Teachingв€’Learning –Based Optimization Algorithm TLBO is a recently proposed meta–heuristic that imitates a successful and dynamic educational strategy in a classroom [29–31]. Similar to most evolutionary algorithms, TLBO is a population–based algorithm. The population consists of some students and a teacher. The teacher is the most knowledgeable one in the population. The main advantage of this algorithm over other evolutionary algorithms is that TLBO has no adjustable parameters, so there is no need to design a tuning mechanism for the parameters. The educational strategy of this algorithm includes both direct and interactive instruction. Actually, not only can the students be affected by their teacher, but also they can affect each other. TLBO algorithm can be divided into two phases: 1– Teaching phase (direct instruction) 2– Learning phase (interactive instruction). In the teaching phase, the teacher provides information for all the students and the students learn from their teacher, while in the learning phase they can learn from each other and develop their skills. The pseudo code of the proposed TLBO algorithm is shown in Figure 1. Teaching phase The best member is selected as the teacher in each iteration. The teacher trains his/her students. In practice the teacher can only improve the mean of the students' knowledge. Students' improvement depends on the students' aptitude for learning. The knowledge of each student is changed according to the following equations: ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
