Facilitating Experiential Learning in Higher Education Summary

Facilitating Experiential Learning in Higher Education: Teaching and Supervising in Labs, Fieldwork, Studios, and Projects by Roland Tormey

  • This book clarifies the specific skills that students are expected to learn in practical settings and provides an up-to-date review of how to develop these skills.
  • It provides concrete, evidence-informed teaching strategies to ensure that students are really learning from their experiences in the lab, field or work placement and developing the practical, job-ready skills that universities are increasingly asked to deliver.
  • By focusing on teaching interactions around questioning, providing feedback on student work, explaining and demonstrating, and the management of relationships with a class, the book allows teachers to rapidly understand and apply these techniques with their own classes.

Facilitating Experiential Learning in Higher Education Reviews

There is mounting evidence that experiential learning is essential to fostering deep - and more intrinsically motivated - learning. In this book, the authors provide a practical advice for optimizing experiential learning and maximizing students' ownership of learning. The advice is evidence based and grounded in research. A must read for anyone who is interested in improving education!
-Eric Mazur, Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, and Dean of Applied Physics, Harvard University, USA

This book is a rare gem that brings together a research-informed approach and practical examples from a range of subject areas to support the development of teaching in practical settings. Its powerful focus on how teachers can enable students to develop expertise provides an excellent grounding for engaging and effective approaches to teaching.
-Paul Ashwin, associate editor of the journal Higher Education and Department Head, Educational Research department, Lancaster University, United Kingdom

This book really stands out amidst the many that already aim to support an improvement of teaching and learning in higher education. It does this through an incredible combination of highly up to date research evidence that is both conceptually and theoretically grounded - linking this powerfully to very practical advice for how to foster learning in the important but challenging settings of hands-on and practical educational experiences.
-Jenni Case, Department Head and Professor, Department of Engineering Education, Virginia Tech, USA

This is a really useful book. With an equal emphasis on practical teaching ideas and on research-evidence, this book is an invaluable resource to improve teaching in hands-on settings without completely restructuring the whole course.
-Pierre Dillenbourg, Associate Vice President for Education, EPFL, professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, and past-president of the International Society of the Learning Sciences

This is a book of its time, and for its time. A great read for anyone looking for ideas to inform their higher education teaching in practical settings.
-Christine Broughan, Deputy Faculty Pro-Vice Chancellor Health and Life Sciences, Northumbria University
