This study was carried out to examine the awareness and experiences of nursing students who learned through simulated practice with standardized patients, and to identify ways to include it in learner-centered nursing practice education. Data collection was carried out from September 2012 to June 2013, and was discontinued when data saturation was achieved. Thus, nine people participated in thi...

introduction: the main goal of education is learning and change in behavior which has been revolutionized in the 21st century due to the rapid and widespread changes in science. the traditional approach to education does no longer meet the learners’ needs, necessitating new changes in educational curricula. this study was designed to determine the factors influencing learning in the 21st centur...

Schools are responsible for developing students’ learning abilities in order to prepare them the future. However, power was rarely explored previous studies. This study considered classrooms as a proximal level of influences from ecologically-oriented systems theory and therefore centered on exploring effects operating communities (CaLC) power. Learner-centered teaching, which includes componen...

Introduction: The most important change in medical education is a shift from didactic teacher-centered and subject-based teaching to the use of interactive, problem-based, student-centered learning. Student-centered approach is a teaching approach t that encompasses replacing lectures with active learning, integrating self-paced learning programs and cooperative group situations, ultimately hol...

Education for sustainability (EfS) poses new challenges to higher education as it necessitates various shifts: from teacherto learner-centered pedagogies, from inputto output-orientation and from a focus on content to problem-solving and process orientation. E-learning, which follows the principles of situated, constructivist learning, addresses some of these challenges and offers opportunities...

Adaptive Learning concept has apprehended the interest of educational actors and partners, especially in higher education. However, the implementation of this concept has faced many challenges, particularly in Adaptive Learning Systems (ALS). The present paper aims to give the foundation of a framework for an ALS that gives extensive attention at each stage of the design process to the end-user...

The paper shows how semantic grid learning services will support a user-centered, personalized, contextualized and experiential based approach for ubiquitous learning. In order to allow personalized learning processes, we need to study and define methodologies for representing, through adequate knowledge structures, such as ontologies, both the area (the learning context) and the learner. In th...
