Can Reflection Inhibit Learning?.

j.a.henry@open.ac.uk

This paper will look at some of the implications of recent findings in cognitive psychology and work on well-being that suggest reflection does not always offer the best route to learning. It will discuss some experiments demonstrating that conscious reflection can lags behind unconscious know-how and can inhibit successful problem solving. It will summarise some of the main findings from studies of well-being which suggest change strategies that are not reliant on reflection or competency building may have advantages. The paper will conclude by suggesting that the pervasiveness of strategies based round reflection and competencies has led to the neglect of other important routes for learning and achieving greater well-being.

Bringing `community' and service learning into the mainstream of higher education: Implications for curriculum innovation and pedagogy.

mcmillan@humanities.uct.ac.za

This paper aims to explore the challenges of bringing experiential learning into the mainstream of higher education teaching, research and learning. In particular, it will focus on the role of `service learning' or accredited community-based learning as a means to do this.

 

The interest in this topic comes from my current experience of being part of a national community-higher education-service-partnership project involving eight universities in South Africa. The aim of the project is the exploration and institutionalisation of service learning as a means of higher education transformation, and community development and empowerment through partnerships between universities, communities and service organisations. The project thus challenges us in higher education to pay attention to the notion of `service' in the context of learning and how this can generate new and authentic forms of accredited (experiential) learning. It also challenges us to think about the contexts in which students learn. Embarking on a project that focuses on new forms of learning and curriculum innovation - especially one in which we wish for students and educators alike to engage with `community' issues - is a challenging task. This is true in any context but perhaps particularly so in a context like South Africa which is grappling with change on a number of fronts.

 

As someone with a real interest in curriculum and learning, I wish to reflect on some issues of pedagogy and curriculum that I believe can point to new frameworks for learning and teaching. I am not offering them as concrete answers but rather as a way to begin to think about institutionalising new forms of experiential learning. To achieve this, we need to find ways in which `structured yet co-operative and collaborative' experiential learning can become part of our curricula. While the challenges are great, such curriculum innovation can begin to reflect the "bringing of the outside inside" and play a role in the reconstruction of educational practice.

Developing skills teaching and learning using interactive 3D virtual environments and multimedia tools.

musiquarium_2000@yahoo.com

With the fusion of computers and telecommunications and the expansion of Web information has grown exponentially around the world, which has brought about the development of individual’s skills for understanding and synthesizing knowledge, applying them with effectiveness.

The designing of information systems requires the application of techniques from experimental psychology like exploratory learning, which is the combination of problem solving and learning behavior, covering trail and error and instruction taking activities (Reiman & Young, 1996). Another technique employed in information systems design comes from ethnography and supports an investigator’s insights about some context and time.

Several educational documented examples, mass media and Internet applications support the argument of employing multimedia, virtual environments and its 2D (HTML) and interactive 3D (VRML) technologies for a high quality Education. For instance, VRML is a language designed to complement the communication inside Internet environments in a creative, dynamic and interactive way. HTML and VRML files are portable, reusable, cost effective and support integrated multimedia (audio and video files)(Ames, 1997). The use of standards languages for acquiring knowledge and developing content can form the basis for individuals’ creativity expansion and cyberspace’s comprehension.

This paper proposes that using multimedia and 3D virtual environments tools can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, as well improve communication among school members (teachers and students) and the outside community, developing individuals’ human and technical skills together.

Employing the state of the art of technology and humanity for sharing knowledge can improve respect and communication in the human interaction, as well generating, creative dynamic and better prepared people for a good, effective professional life (Franco, 2000). For achieving these goals is fundamental that family, school, public and private sectors work together in a synergy network.
