Annotated Bibliography

In this blog, I will be discussing the 5 different articles that relate to the Multimedia Project I am doing this semester. These are the different Annotated Bibliography I looked at:


Evan Ortlieb, (2014), Experiential Learning Theory, inEvan Ortlieb (ed.) Theoretical Models of Learning and Literacy Development (Literacy Research, Practice and Evaluation, Volume 4) Emerald Group Publishing Limited, pp.109 - 137, emeraldinsight.com

• This article is about how experiential learning can have on students when learning in and out of the classroom. There's new experiential learning theory and it shows that there is a different paths learners take when learning. One of the main methods of learning is that we can learn from doing something. For decades, reading skills must be taught. Many involves experiencing literature through hands-on and e-learning environments can promote reading. Students who are interested in literacy and using technology and experiential learning should be of central focus.

François Fourcade, Nicolas Go, (2012) "Towards a new paradigm in experiential learning: lessons learned from kindergarten", Journal of Management Development, Vol. 31 Issue: 3, pp.198-208, doi.org

• This article is about comparing two different ways of experiential learning. This paper is five years of action research involving more than 70 students and another one was run in kindergartens for more than 10 years. To reveal the power of experiential learning one needs to be complaint with four principles: the conditions for the experience to emerge comes from themselves, the multiplicity, the dual epistemological authenticity and the complexity principles. 

Tania Pereira Christopoulos, Adriana Wilner, Maria Luisa Trindade Bestetti, (2016) "Experimental learning enhancing improvisation skills", The Learning Organization, Vol. 23 Issue: 6, pp.415-428, doi.org

• This article aims to improve training and experimentation as an alternative method to deal with unexpected events in which structured processes do not seem to work. The study designs a framework and process model of experimental learning supported by a case study of Brazilian Government agents. The lessons and group experiences of the experimental learning course helped agents to build tools to deal with events that required improvisation. 

Mona Holmqvist, Göran Brante, Charlotte Tullgren, (2012) "Learning study in pre‐school: teachers’ awareness of children's learning and what they actually learn", International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies, Vol. 1 Issue: 2, pp.153-167, doi.org

• This article is about pre-school children's learning during a learning study and their teachers' awareness of each child's learning possibilities to what they actually learned. The aims are to focus on how to design a learning study in a pre-school setting and to study young children's learning. There is a difference between what the children actually learned and the teachers' awareness about the children's possibilities. The teacher's awareness of the children's learning is different from what the children actually learned. Teachers' expectations are too high or too low, they will affect the children's abilities to learn in a positive or negative way but not offering children challenging tasks. By using the learning study, teachers became aware of this difference and able to reassess their expectations for each child.

David Lamb, (2015) "Learning about events through involvement and participation: The use of experiential and authentic learning experiences", International Journal of Event and Festival Management, Vol. 6 Issue: 1, pp.73-91, doi.org

• This article is about the use of an experiential learning model in an introduction events unit/module in partnership with Sports Canterbury. During this unit\module students explored the creation and manipulation of event experience. Students were able to acquire skills and knowledge that helped them experience the whole event. Experiential learning approaches are a valuable tool to overcome the knowledge practice gap recognised in vocationally orientated disciplines. The experiential learning model used in this study resulted in students being actively engaged in their learning through involvemnent and active participatiomn in an actual event, where they were able to apply what they had learnt in the classroom to the real world, The connection between theory and practice is important.
