Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Increasingly, various sectors of Canadian universities are advocating an assortment of beyond-the-classroom learning models – from research assistantships through service learning and cooperative education placements. At the same time, faculty who engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and related inquiries into teaching and learning are striving to shift attention on their activities from the periphery to a more central position within campus culture – a particular challenge for Arts and Humanities professors, who may find themselves marginalized within SoTL. This article focuses attention on the intersections of experiential learning and SoTL and SoTL-related activity. Students have much to benefit from, and offer to, these activities – beyond their usual role as subjects of studies. I present a framework based on examples from research and my own experiences – with a focus on undergraduate Arts students, who, arguably, have the fewest opportunities for Experiential Learning in general – that illustrates varying degrees of involvement. As Arts faculty attempt to enhance and highlight inquiries into teaching and learning, they would be wise to conjoin them with experiential learning by including students in the process and product. Divers secteurs des universités canadiennes conseillent de plus en plus un assortiment de modèles d’apprentissage hors de la salle de classe – que ce soit par le biais de postes d’assistants à la recherche, de l’apprentissage par le service ou de stages dans le cadre de l’enseignement coopératif. En même temps, les professeurs qui sont actifs dans l’Avancement des connaissances en enseignement et en apprentissage (ACEA) et dans des domaines connexes liés à l’enseignement et à l’apprentissage s’efforcent d’attirer l’attention sur leurs activités pour les faire passer de la périphérie à une position plus centrale sur les campus – ce qui s’avère être un réel défi pour les professeurs des facultés de lettres et sciences humaines car ils se retrouvent marginalisés au sein de l’ACEA. Cet article se concentre sur les intersections de l’apprentissage par l’expérience et de l’ACEA et des activités liées à l’ACEA. Les étudiants ont grandement profité de ces activités et y ont beaucoup apporté, au-delà de leur rôle en tant qu’objets d’études. Je présente un cadre basé sur des exemples issus de ma recherche et de mes propres expériences – avec une concentration sur les étudiants de premier cycle en lettres et sciences humaines qui, et cela est discutable, ont le moins grand nombre d’occasions, en général, de participer à l’enseignement par l’expérience – qui illustrent divers degrés d’implication. Alors que les professeurs des facultés de lettres essaient d’améliorer et de rehausser la recherche en enseignement et en apprentissage, ils auraient intérêt à y ajouter l’apprentissage par l’expérience en incluant les étudiants dans le processus et dans le produit.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
