Experiential Learning Approaches and Assessment for Teaching Sustainable Supply Chain Management
No full textPurpose
The United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainability formulates seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Advancing these goals requires that decision-makers are educated in the concepts and frameworks on which sustainability is based. Higher Education, therefore, has the major responsibility of developing future leaders to support the necessary change towards sustainability (OECD, 2019). Success in this may also depend on facilitating a needed mind-shift, away from the paradigms that have informed business and business education thus far, towards a more sustainable mindset (Rimanoczy & Llamazares, 2021). Salinas-Navarro et al. (2022) argue, based on a case study of education for sustainable supply chains, that a combination of experiential learning methods can enable the needed learning processes. Similarly, the research presented here showcases the teaching approaches used for a sustainable supply chain management course. Taking the approach of the Experiential Learning Model (ELM) and Action Reflection learning (ARL), the course integrates various experiential components using simulation gaming, reflective experiences, teamwork, and other exercises that target the development of the so-called Sustainability Mindset (SM). This framework aims at moving individuals toward the aforementioned paradigm shift (Rimanoczy, 2020). The effects of this pedagogical approach are assessed using the Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI, Rimanoczy & Klingenberg, 2021), a tool that maps an individual’s progress towards such a mindset.
Research design
This research represents an explorative case study for developing a sustainable supply chain management course. In particular, we use the “Sustainable and Global Supply Management” course, taught in the second (and last) year of the Master of Science program in Management Engineering at the University of Bergamo in Italy. This course uses various experiential learning methods, such as the Blue Connection on Circular Economy Simulation, and exercises that stimulate the development of thought processes along the principles of the Sustainability Mindset (SMPs). Each exercise had specific objectives that aligned with the SMPs. Using the SMI, a pre- post assessment of students’ position towards the SM is performed, together with an evaluation of
students’ experiences, to determine the effects of the combined teaching methods. The findings are mapped against the objectives of the various experiential learning methods.
Findings
As of the writing of this abstract, the course is ongoing, with the final students’ assessment scheduled for the third week of December. Early reactions to the teaching method show a high level of student engagement. The results of the pre-post analysis and the mapping of the various experiential learning approaches to these results will be presented.
Practical implications
Educators can find inspiration in the presented teaching approaches and learning methods employed throughout the course. In addition, the SMI, a new assessment tool to measure the effectiveness of teaching interventions, is introduced.
Contribution
This research adds to the literature on teaching approaches for sustainability in general, and sustainable supply chains specifically. A new assessment tool, the Sustainability Mindset Indicator, is used to evaluate the relevance and effectiveness of various pedagogical tools employed throughout the course. The applicability of this new tool is therefore also tested
Innovative Teaching: a Case Study on Teaching Sustainable Supply Chain Management and a Sustainability Mindset
No full textIn this research, we propose an exploratory case study for establishing a sustainable supply chain management course (“Sustainable and Global Supply Management”, MS in Management Engineering, University of Bergamo, Italy), using a unique, novel combination of pedagogical approaches. To improve learning and encourage the development of the Sustainability Mindset (SM), several exercises aligned with Kolb’s experiential learning methodology were implemented. Based on results of the Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI®), a measurement of students’ attitudes toward the SM, specific activities were deliberately and flexibly chosen. The impacts of the experiential teaching techniques were ascertained by a pre-post analysis using the SMI®

The choice of exercises was flexibly and intentionally designed based on results of the Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI®), an assessment of students’ position towards the SM. A pre-post analysis employing the SMI® allowed determining the effects of the experiential teaching methods
Mixing Methods: Practical Insights from the Humanities in the Digital Age
Full text linkDigitality is a cause and a consequence of different data cultures. It applies to the 10 research projects that are included in this volume. They are rooted in various humanities disciplines such as art history, philosophy, musicology, religious studies, architectural history, media studies, and literature studies. As diverse as the disciplines are the objects and their formats, which are the subject of this book. The cultural data of the projects include recordings of music and spoken word, photographs and other types of images, handwriting, typoscripts and maps. The oldest material dates back to 500 BCE, followed by medieval times, the 18th and 19th centuries, early 20th century and the present. All projects share that they study their material with digital methods, although digitality comes into play at different moments and layers in each of the projects. Hardly readable manuscripts from the 18th century have to be treated with specialized OCR-methods while Plato’s texts are already available in digital form, and therefore open up other affordances for analysis. Special analysis possibilities had to be developed for certain image sources. For all projects, however, it is equally true that only the digitization of the objects makes them accessible to the methods that are the subject of this book.History, Form & Aesthetic
Investigation of family (un)truths: memory, trauma and testimony in the study "My good father: life with his past" by Beate Niman
No full textOsnovna namera rada jeste analitičko raslojavanje sadržine studije "Moj dobri otac: život sa njegovom prošlošću" Beate Niman. Autorka studije je kćerka Bruna Zatlera, šefa Gestapoa i zločinca Drugog svetskog rata, koji je, pored mnogobrojnih zverstava, rukovodio operacijom ubijanja žena i dece u dušegupkama u Beogradu (1942-1944). Uočavajući praznine i nelogičnosti u svojim sećanjima, autorka započinje proces istraživanja o ocu u nameri da napiše njegovu biografiju. Beatin narativ sučelјava prošlost sa sadašnjošću, kao i porodičnu kreiranu prošlost sa potencijalnim porodičnim nasleđem. Osim toga, baveći se istorijom, činjenicama, dokazima, otac postaje predmet svojevrsne kćerkine istrage. Počevši od dekonstrukcije (Beatinih) sećanja, najpre je istaknuta prošlost Bruna Zatlera. Biće dati uvidi u autorkine procese istraživanja kojima se dospelo do razotkrivanja istorijske i porodične istine o Zatleru. Istraživanje neće biti striktno fiksirano na lik Bruna Zatlera, budući da narativ kao takav daje prostor istraživanju psiholoških aspekata ličnosti same Beate Niman. Na račun rečenog, ali i u vezi sa samim narativom, biće tematizovani odnosi istorije i prošlosti, funkcije sećanja, dometi trauma, aspekti (auto)biografije, kao uvidi u postojanje dvostrukog svedočenja i dvostrukog istražnog postupka na nivou narativa kao celine.The main purpose of the work is the analytical stratification of the content of the study "My good father: life with his past" by Beate Nieman. The author of the study is the daughter of Bruno Sattler, head of the Gestapo and a criminal of the Second World War, who, in addition to numerous atrocities, led the operation of killing women and children in the dušegupka’s in Belgrade (1942-1944). Noticing gaps and illogicalities in her memories, the author begins the process of researching her father with the intention of writing his biography. Beata’s narrative confronts the past with the present, as well as the family’s created past with the potential family legacy. In addition, dealing with history, facts, evidence, the father becomes the subject of his daughter’s investigation. Starting with the econstruction of (Beat’s) memories, Bruno Sattler’s past is highlighted first. Insights will be given into the author’s research processes that led to the uncovering of the historical and family truth about Sattler. The research will not be strictly fixed on the character of Bruno Sattler since the narrative as such gives space to research the psychological aspects of the personality of Beate Niemann herself. The work will be focused on the relations of history and the past, the functions of memory, the scope of trauma, aspects of (auto)biography, as insights into the existence of double testimony and double investigative procedure at the level of the narrative.Tema broja: "Holokaust: nove perspektive, nova saznanja, novi izazovi" (topic of the issue: "Holocaust: new perspectives, new knowledge, new challenges")
The Fabric of Gifts: Culture and Politics of Giving and Exchange in Archaic Greece
Full text linkWhen the Greek leader Agamemnon took for himself the woman awarded to Achilles as his spoils of battle, the warrior’s resulting anger and outrage nearly cost his side the war. Beyond the woman herself was what she symbolised — a matter of esteem rather than material value. In Archaic Greece the practices of gift giving existed alongside an economy of market relations. The value of gifts and the meanings of exchange in ancient societies are fundamental to the debates of 19th-century economists, to Marcel Mauss’s famous Essai sur le don (1923-4), and to the definition of experiential value by modern philosopher Yanis Varoufakis.
In this book Beate Wagner-Hasel analyses the sensory content and the social context of many examples of Greeks bearing gifts: to guests, at sacrificial rituals and at funerals, to brides and to heroes. The fabric of these gifts unfolds a panorama of social networks and models of rulership embedded in a world of pastoral and textile economy. Among the gifted objects that represent this world, textiles offer the clearest representation of social cohesion — the key value ascribed to the gift by the earliest theorists of gift-giving.
Beate Wagner-Hasel was Professor of Ancient History at the Leibniz University of Hannover 2001–2018, specializing in economic history and gender studies. She is the author of Antike Welten (2017), Alter in der Antike (2012), Die Arbeit des Gelehrten (2011), and Der Stoff der Gaben (2000), and co-editor (with Marie-Louise Nosch) of Gaben, Waren und Tribute (2019).
The Fabrics of Gifts is a revised edition of her study of gifts in Early Greece (Der Stoff der Gaben, 2000).https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1092/thumbnail.jp
Arbeid mot mobbing : en kvalitativ studie om en skoles arbeid mot mobbing, ved bruk av mobbeprogrammet ZERO, sett fra elevenes ståsted
No full textBakgrunn og formål: Når det gjelder dette masteroppgaveprosjektet har jeg inngått et samarbeid med en skole i forhold til deres forebyggende arbeid mot mobbing. Informantskolen benytter seg av mobbeprogrammet Zero som er utviklet ved atferdssenteret i Stavanger. Grunnen til at jeg valgte denne problematikken er et ønske om større innsikt i forhold til mobbing som fenomen. I tillegg fant jeg det interessant å
se nærmere på hvordan en kan arbeide forebyggende for å redusere forekomsten av mobbing i skolen. Det å arbeide systematisk for å tilby elevene et godt psykososialt arbeidsmiljø står nedfelt i Opplæringslovens paragraf 9a-3. Med tanke på mitt fremtidige arbeid som allmennlærer og spesialpedagog i skolen vil jeg kunne dra nytte
av det jeg har erfart og lært ved å skrive denne oppgaven.
Metode: I denne undersøkelsen har jeg benyttet kvalitativt semistrukturert intervju som metode. Valg av informanter til undersøkelsen ble foretatt etter bestemte utvalgskriterier. Totalt intervjuet jeg seks informanter på mellomtrinnet i tillegg til å
foreta to prøveintervjuer. Det ble utarbeidet en intervjuguide i forkant av intervjusamtalene. Spørsmålene i intervjuguiden ble utarbeidet med utgangspunkt i undersøkelsens følgende hovedproblemstilling og forskningsspørsmål.
Problemstilling: ”Hvordan opplever elever sin skoles arbeid mot mobbing, og i hvilken grad har de selv vunnet innsikt i problematikken?”
• Hvordan er elevenes forståelse av begrepet mobbing?
• Hvordan er elevenes handlingsviten i forhold til mobbing?
• Hva vet elevene om skolens arbeid mot mobbing?
• Hvordan opplever elevene at skolens arbeid mot mobbing fungerer i
praksis?
Resultater: Av resultatene på undersøkelsen kommer det frem at informantene har utviklet en forholdsvis god innsikt i mobbeproblematikken. Samlet sett ser det også ut til at informanten opplever å være fornøyde med det meste av arbeidet skolen utfører i
forhold til det å forebygge og avdekke mobbing på skolen. Undersøkelsen indikerer likevel at skolen har enkelte pedagogiske utfordringer å arbeide videre med for at de skal kunne nå målet om å tilby elevene et godt psykososialt arbeidsmiljø fritt for mobbing
