Evaluation of engagement in learning within active learning classrooms: Does novelty make a difference?
Get PDFThis cross-sectional study examines students’ and faculty members’ perceptions on their use of active learning classrooms in a university in Singapore. The study targets students (398) and faculty (6) who use active learning classrooms - Applied and Collaborative learning Environment (ACE) rooms. It investigated whether novelty to the learning environment plays a part in the perceptions and experiences of the rooms, through the Active Learning Classroom (ALC) Survey. Results reveal that effective utilisation, room/course fit, student-centred activities in the ACE room all play major roles in increasing student engagement and learning; yet no difference in the first-time or repeated student-users’ experience

Self-Generated Notations: A Suggested Methodology of Introducing Movement Literacy
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to present a method aimed at enabling the acquisition of movement literacy in a communicative-creative manner that does not require long-term expertise. The paper opens with a brief history and description of Eshkol Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN), followed by a discussion of the notion of Movement Literacy and its defined components–conceptualization, representation and kinesthetic performance, as have emerged within the EWMN system. Two additional educational ideas are also mentioned–the constructionism and the independent development of visual representations by learners. Together, these ideas establish a theoretical background for a non-formal study, in which dance-teaching students guided a process of independently developing movement symbols by their pupils, as part of their dance curriculum. Findings from these self-generated movement symbols exemplify the effective links between the conceptual, representational and practical aspects of movement studies. Teaching movement literacy as suggested is a communicative, effective, and creative process, available even for teachers at the beginning of their professional careers
