Designing Effective Learning Environments
A workshop to introduce the principles and elements of the
Action Reflection Learning methodology
Instructor: Isabel Rimanoczy
What?
A workshop aimed at adult educators, to introduce the principles and elements of the ARL learning methodology for adult learning.
Why?
The principles and elements of the ARL methodology for adult learning are based on a variety of proven and well known adult learning principles, that educators are familiar with, but that only seldom are used in
a combined fashion. This workshop aims at using the principles and elements for the design and the implementation of the workshop itself, in order to give the participants an experiential-reflective opportunity to enhance their professional skills.
How?
This workshop is aimed at adult educators: teachers, facilitators, training and development instructors and professionals, individuals who design and/or implement learning interventions (programs, sessions, courses, workshops) for adults. This is a 8 hour workshop, in two consecutive modules of 4 hours each.
The workshop is itself designed and delivered using the ARL principles it intends to portray. The participants will be discovering the principles through a guided process of reflection and discussion, with input of the workshop facilitator.
So what?
The participants will leave the workshop with an experiential reflection on a different learning environment; they will be introduced to the set of 10 principles and develop a guiding checklist of questions to ask themselves when designing learning environments. They will prepare a personal draft design of how they could apply the principles on a current educational project.
