Team Learning

Details: Written by Brent Duncan, PhD; Parent Category: Learning; Published: 13 December 2020

Despite a culture with cooperation as a core value, Japanese higher education generally uses rigid lecture-test teaching models that neither support nor condone small-group learning methods in the classroom. As a result, Japanese college students usually work outside the classroom to develop the collaborative skills necessary to contribute effectively at work and in society.

Adult Learning

No single approach or theory seems to adequately address the diverse abilities and needs of adult learners, the multiple missions of institutions, and the changing needs of society. Rather than imposing myopic philosophy and ideology, adult educators can be more effective by adapting practice to the dynamically interacting needs of the student and the environment.

Learning Perspectives

In an increasingly dynamic context with highly diverse student populations, educators can increase effectiveness by expanding perspective and approach beyond methodological myopia to develop adaptive methods through methodological integration.

Team Learning

Building an effective team requires managing group dynamics to achieve goals, satisfaction, and continuance. Can we apply teamwork in the classroom to increase our learning and satisfaction at school? How can the teamwork skills we develop contribute to success outside of college?

Goal Setting

Goal setting is thoroughly established as a highly effective tool for motivating individuals and organizational action toward desired outcomes. However, managers rarely stop to ponder the dark side of goal setting. Explore the risks and benefits of goals for more effective goal setting. Consider a situational approach to goal setting to apply the correct type of goal.
