Item Adult Development Matters In Adult Education(Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Scheer, Scott D.All to often in adult education settings, the learning strategies and methods that we use are tailored as one size fits all. A key component of effective adult learning that can be easily overlooked is the role of adult development with adult learning. This oversight is possible among adult educators because our knowledge base is grounded in education as compared to human development or developmental psychology. The point being made that the developmental characteristics of the adult learners should influence the teaching-learning strategies that are implemented. In other words, developmental differences between a 22 and 77 year-old should be accounted for in a community-learning setting.Item Classroom use of narrative and documentary film leads to an enhanced understanding of culture and diversity in science(Association of College and Biology Educators, 2016) Gonzalez, Edward L. F.; Lewis, C. T.; Slayback-Barry, D.; Yost, Robert W.For a first-year seminar, Windows on Science, the authors developed a cooperative learning activity around film designed to meet two of the campus-wide Principles of Undergraduate Learning. The teaching method utilizes the power of storytelling by screening narrative and documentary films. In the process, the methodology helps students to realize the contributions of many cultures, specifically African Americans, to our knowledge of science and the advancement of scientific methodology. Additionally, students are exposed to issues that focus on ethical conduct in the sciences and that provide an opportunity to discuss the leadership role that women have played in advancing science and technology. A pedagogical approach using narrative and documentary film in a freshman science course is an effective means for promoting an understanding of the endeavors and contributions of minorities and women in science, and for developing an increased awareness of issues concerning diversity and ethics.Item (DIS)EMPWERING PEDAGOGIES: REPRESSIVE TOLERANCE AND DEMOCRACY IN THE ADULT EDUCATION CLASSROOM(2005-10-13T19:41:15Z) Huber, Conni; Cale, GaryThis paper argues that many of our cherished liberal and humanistic teaching practices may lead to the marginalization and even silencing of more progressive and inclusive oppositional voices and viewpoints.Item Participatory Learning Through The Call And Response(Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Isaac, E. PauletteWherever adult education takes place, the purpose is to learn. To assist adults in the learning process, it is suggested that a variety of techniques be used. Techniques that allow for participatory or interactive learning are most favored because they allow learners to be engaged in the learning process. One of the most popular participatory instructional techniques in the classroom is the discussion. Within the African American Church, participatory learning occurs through an interesting dialogue called the “call and response.” Costen (1993) suggests that the call and response is a dialogical communication that skillfully takes place between the preacher and the congregation. The purpose of this study was to examine the techniques preachers use to engage adults in the learning process during a worship service.Item The Quarterly interview: Tony Stamatoplos(LOEX, 2011) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-This interview with Tony Stamatoplos focuses primary on the uses of improvisation in teaching information literacy. He comments briefly on his background and philosophy of teaching, and discusses some of the ways he uses improvisation to engage students, facilitate learning, and adapt to dynamic learning environments. He discusses how his use of improvisation is grounded in theatrical improvisation and draws from the scholarship of improvisation in disciplines such as psychology, education, and business.
