Engaging nutrition and dietetic students with food law through the use of an ...ePortfolios Australia
This presentation will outline the use of an EPortfolio (PebblePad) to teach second year Nutrition and Dietetic students to identify and interpret Australian food law in relation to food composition, classification, production, processing and retailing. An understanding of food law is essential for all Nutrition and Dietetic graduates, however given the complex nature of this area (e.g. language used in law), students in the past have noted that it is difficult to engage with this topic. In Semester 1 2016, a workbook was introduced as a tool to engage students in this topic area in the NUT201 Food Studies course. This presentation outlines how the workbook was integrated into this course and tailored to the weekly content and learning outcomes, and presents student and staff feedback on the EPortfolio workbook as a learning tool.

ReSource Project: Train Your Mind and HeartAshraf Rahmani
These are some questions that lie at the heart of Resource Project directed by Prof. Dr. Tanis Singer:
- Can we teach people to feel more socially connected?
- Can we train social competencies such as compassion through short-secularized mental practices?
- Can we widen our circle of compassion to become truly global citizens?
- Can we increase resilience and decrease social stress?
- Can we improve altruism and cooperative skills?
- Can we counteract the negative effects of a distracted mind by mental practices that stabilize the mind and our attention?
Models of teaching is a technique helpful for making teaching learning process more effective. It can be used by primary, secondary, higher secondary, higher education teachers.

Andragogy Research Scholarship Opportunity: MSc by Research in Leadership & M...Cranfield University
Cranfield University specialises in applied research which shapes our teaching and is converted into practical application of knowledge in Management and Technology. We have a unique Masters by Research in Leadership and Management opportunity for someone to help us to develop the distinctive scholarship of post-graduate, post-experience learning in adults.
The lack of current research in this emerging field offers exciting opportunities for ground-breaking research, and early indications are that motivations, knowledge acquisition and application are very different from standard pedagogies based on child learners. If so, your research has the potential to transform university education.
You may already be working in education or be considering a role in academia; or you might be in a managerial or learning-related role in industry. Either way, you are interested in management, motivation, leadership and learning. This is not a teaching post, although if that is part of your planned career path opportunities to gain academic experience may be available to the right candidate.
Working closely with our new Centre for Andragogy and Academic Skills, your research will push forward the boundaries of our understanding about how adults learn; your results will demonstrate how to maximise learning and could be published in scholarly journals as well as influencing the learning and teaching practices in higher education.
You will join a cohort of research students in our world-leading School of Management and be given training in academic research methods appropriate to your research needs, and you will work directly with students and academics across various themes within the University.
A scholarship of up to full UK/EU fees is available. Note that this scholarship does not provide funding for living expenses or other costs.
Potential research topics include: What is Cranfield’s signature andragogy?; Andragogy and new developments in Learning and Teaching; Developing the Reflective Practitioner; Kolb updated and applied.
Admission requirements:
• a strong first degree (UK level 2.1 minimum)
• please see website for English language requirements.
Deadline for applications: 31 July.
Expressions of interest, alongside a CV, are invited via email to Dr Madeline Fisher m.fisher@cranfield.ac.uk in the first instance.

Generational differences in work values: A review of theory and evidence (2011), Parry E, Urwin P.

Abstract
This paper presents a critical review of the theoretical basis and empirical evidence for the popular practitioner idea that there are generational differences in work values. The concept of generations has a strong basis in sociological theory, but the academic empirical evidence for generational differences in work values is, at best, mixed. Many studies are unable to find the predicted differences in work values, and those that do often fail to distinguish between ‘generation’ and ‘age’ as possible drivers of such observed differences. In addition, the empirical literature is fraught with methodological limitations through the use of cross-sectional research designs in most studies, confusion about the definition of a generation as opposed to a cohort, and a lack of consideration for differences in national context, gender and ethnicity. Given the multitude of problems inherent in the evidence on generational differences in work values, it is not clear what value the notion of generations has for practitioners, and this may suggest that the concept be ignored. Ultimately, it may not matter to practitioners whether differences in the values of different birth cohorts reflect true generational effects, provided one can reliably demonstrate that these differences do exist. However, at present this is not the case, and therefore significant research is required first to disentangle cohort and generational effects from those caused by age or period. The suggestion that different groups of employees have different values and preferences, based on both age and other factors such as gender, remains a useful idea for managers; but a convincing case for consideration of generation as an additional distinguishing factor has yet to be made.
Research by the International Centre for Women Leaders at Cranfield School of Management has influenced recruitment for board-level appointments of publicly listed UK companies and has changed the composition of corporate boards in UK FTSE-350 companies.
These changes in board composition, as well as the practices of leading executive search firms, owe much to the work of the Lord Davies Steering Group, which draws extensively on the Centre's research.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

•
Quasi-experiment in 2 non-private US elementary schools
•
93 third-graders participated in daily 10-minute “MBSEL” (Mindfulness-Based Social and Emotional Learning) practice
•
98 students were in (waitlist) control group
•
MBSEL practice was modelled on MBSR method
•
All practice sessions had been tailored to school settings & had been pre-recorded in audio format
•
After 3 months, participating students’ grades in reading & science improved statistically significantly
•
4 other grades did not change significantly
•
Problem behaviour incidents in participating classrooms decreased
•
Teachers reportedly benefited from the mindfulness practice also
•
No prior teacher training in mindfulness was needed –
•
This may be cost effective for resource-constrained non-private schools
•
No changes to classroom curriculum were required –
•
The short daily practice may be easy to integrate into school operations
•
Follow-up research underway currently to ascertain subject-specific effect of MBSEL training &/or other boundary effects of the observed findings.
