FNTI Model of Engaged Learning (in a presentation
on "Two Models of Engaged Learning", with
Ann Withorn). |
| dianhill@worldchat.com |
| This
presentation will discuss some key elements
of holistic learning, a model of education
based on Aboriginal cultural philosophy, currently
being practiced by the First Nations Technical
Institute in Tyendinaga, Ontario. (The model
will have been explored in more depth by participants
in the pre-conference workshop). This approach
encourages the use of teaching/learning processes
and RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) through
portfolio development strategies that support
an Aboriginal definition of "holistic" learning,
where the adult learner is challenged to acquire
the qualities and characteristics necessary
to become a "whole person". This presentation
will draw attention to the importance of documenting
and accrediting knowledge and skills inherent
within an Aboriginal cultural world-view in
the global higher education context. |

CPCS Model of Engaged Learning (in a presentation

Dianne Hill). |
| ann.withorn@umb.edu |
| This
presentation will outline the College of Public
and Community Service's almost thirty year
history of experiential education with working
class adults and our current efforts to change
and deepen our ability to serve given changing
times. I will discuss the particular methods
and values we use with low income students
to help them move forward and seek both social
and personal change, that starts with being
respectful of who they are. I will also talk
about the effect of deeply conservatizing
times on our kind of educational efforts --
both how they offer some opportunities as
well as profound threats. (All these topics
will have been explored in more depth during
the Pre-Conference Workshop, and some of the
insights gained with that will be incorporated
in this presentation.) |
