This document discusses using the learning cycle in library instruction to engage students. It begins with an overview of Kolb's learning cycle and learning styles. An example lesson plan on evaluating sources is then described that incorporates the learning cycle's four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The advantages of using the learning cycle are that it aids planning, covers different learning preferences, and matches how the brain learns. Disadvantages include the time needed and that not all learning maps onto the cycle. Tips are provided such as entering the cycle at different points and asking for student feedback.
Kolb’s learning styles - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
The principle of reinforcement: continuous and repetitive practice ensures the retention of knowledge and skills.
The principle of behavior modeling: set models for the trainees to follow.
The principle of feedback: timely and adequate feedback motivates the trainees.
The principle of learning transfer: those that can be transferred to work are most likely to be retained.
We are students in our 2nd year of a BA (Hons) Professional Studies in Education. As a class we were asked to act as a 'community of practice' to explore different teaching and learning theories, the result was this presentation. Thank you Ann for inspiring us and getting us started.

An academic presentation on the integrative and interactive systematization of theory and practice that relates teacher education and critical thinking.
A learning style is student’s consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in the context of learning.
David A. Kolb, Harvard Professor of Organizational Behavior, put forward the mode of “experiential learning cycle”
Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels: a four stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles. Much of Kolb’s theory is concerned with the learner’s internal cognitive processes.
Kolb states that learning involves the acquisition of abstract concepts that can be applied flexibly in a range of situations. In Kolb’s theory, the impetus for the development of new concepts is provided by new experiences.
“Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (Kolb, 1984, p. 38).
David Kolb published his learning styles model in 1984.
The model gave rise to related terms such as Kolb's experiential learning theory (ELT), and Kolb's learning styles inventory (LSI).
In his publications - notably his 1984 book 'Experiential Learning: Experience As The Source Of Learning And Development' Kolb acknowledges the early work on experiential learning by others in the 1900's, including Rogers, Jung, and Piaget.
In turn, Kolb's learning styles model and experiential learning theory are today acknowledged by academics, teachers, managers and trainers as truly seminal works; fundamental concepts towards our understanding and explaining human learning behaviour, and towards helping others to learn.
How do we design training or course curricula so that there is effective engagement of students in class room, since each student has specific learning preferences?

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

(Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006)
Forces a focus
Emphasizes process
Disadvantages
Time consuming (Frierson,
2010)
Can be “risky”
Not all learning works with
learning cycle
30. Let your students know what you are doing

Don’t force it
Use guidance where necessary
Ask for student feedback
