Experiencing Intimacy with God (Women of Faith Study Guide Series)
by Women Of Faith Christa J. KindeIn our hearts, we all want to experience closeness with God. We want to know Him and be known by Him. We long to see Him face to face, hear His voice, and touch His hand. We want to hear Him call us His child, His friend, His beloved. Yet in all of our yearnings, we often miss the simple truth that God is already with us! He is already closer to us than any sister, friend, or other human being could ever be—if only we could have our eyes opened to this reality. In this study, readers will be challenged to come to this reality and see how the Holy Spirit is at work in their lives. They will be challenged to consistently meet with God each day and reveal their true selves to Him—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so they can develop a closer relationship with Him.
Experiencing Master's Supervision: Perspectives of international students and their supervisors (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Nigel Harwood Bojana PetrićMaster’s degree programmes are on the rise, attracting growing numbers of international students who speak English as a second or additional language. Experiencing Master’s Supervision: Perspectives of International Students and their Supervisors explores the experiences of supervising and being supervised at Master’s level, charting the difficulties and joys of learning for second language speakers of English while based at a UK university. The authors report the findings of a year of studying both supervisees and their supervisors in four different departments in the social sciences and humanities at a UK research-intensive university. Using a multiple case study approach, and examining supervision in its natural context, this book presents rich descriptions of five case studies: three student-supervisor dyads and two cases of individual students. Analysing rich, first-hand narratives, chapters identify key aspects of satisfaction and dissatisfaction through the eyes of the participants, focusing upon expectations, supervision styles, feedback and students’ support networks, and discussing the broader implications for university and departmental policy makers, responsible for guidelines and requirements. This book contains important insights into the supervisory experience at Master’s level and will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, TESOL, TEFL/TESL and applied linguistics. This book will also be a useful resource for supervisors, leaders of training sessions for supervisors, and for postgraduate directors and teaching committees at universities who develop supervisory guidelines and preparatory sessions for Master’s students.
Experiencing Organised Sounds: The Listening Experience Across Diverse Sound-Based Works
by Leigh LandyExperiencing Organised Sounds investigates a wide horizon of sound-based works using a template consistently across its 16 studies. It has been written for both specialist and non-specialist readers aiming to address means of increasing appreciation and understanding related to the experience of sonic creativity (music involving any sounds, not just musical notes) across this repertoire, as well as to launch a discussion about how the reception of sonic creativity can be influenced by the circumstances of listening – in particular, regarding the qualitative difference between the in-situ as opposed to mediated experience. Although listening is the volume’s focus, complementary information from the musicians is offered to facilitate holistic work overviews. As the first composition presented was composed by a 15-year-old, the intention is to demonstrate that what might be considered a niche area of the contemporary arts is one in which both increased appreciation and participation could and should easily be achieved. The book’s work discussions are divided over three central chapters focused on fixed-medium compositions, performed and sound artworks. Experiencing Organised Sounds can be used as an undergraduate textbook, by experienced readers or those new to the area. All works discussed and related materials are available to readers online.
Experiencing Race, Class, and Gender in the United States, Seventh Edition
by Roberta Fiske-RuscianoThrough individual stories, essays, poetry, and critical analyses, Experiencing Race, Class, and Gender in the United States, Seventh Edition, introduces issues of race, class, and gender within an interdisciplinary framework. Divided into three sections, Identity, Power, and Change, as well as nine parts, Fiske-Rusciano challenges readers to reflect on their own lives, examine the structural systems that contribute to inequality, and identify problems while visualizing change. “Understanding the Reading” questions encourage critical thinking and classroom discussion, and “Suggestions for Responding” encourage further study. In addition to its focus on minorities victimized by discrimination, this anthology also includes the experiences of the privileged and of those who resist change and reinforces students’ understanding that they can create change in their lives and in society. New to This Edition: - Twenty-five new readings focus upon divisions in our understanding of U.S. history and the consequences of those divisions - New Part VII “Race, Class, and Gender During the Obama and Trump Administrations: A Comparative Look,” focuses on themes such as racial politics, women’s rights, environmental justice, and marginalization.
Experiencing School Mathematics: Traditional and Reform Approaches To Teaching and Their Impact on Student Learning, Revised and Expanded Edition (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)
by Jo BoalerNORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS ONLY: This is a revised edition of Experiencing School Mathematics first published in 1997 by Open University Press, © Jo Boaler. This revised edition is for sale in North America only.The first book to provide direct evidence for the effectiveness of traditional and reform-oriented teaching methods, Experiencing School Mathematics reports on careful and extensive case studies of two schools that taught mathematics in totally different ways. Three hundred students were followed over three years, providing an unusual and important range of data, including observations, interviews, questionnaires, and assessments, to show the ways students' beliefs and understandings were shaped by the different approaches to mathematics teaching. The interviews that are reproduced in the book give compelling insights into what it meant to be a student in the classrooms of the two schools. Questions are raised about and new evidence is provided for: * the ways in which "traditional" and "reform oriented" mathematics teaching approaches can impact student attitude, beliefs, and achievement; *the effectiveness of different teaching methods in preparing students for the demands of the "real world" and the 21st century; *the impact of tracking and heterogeneous ability grouping; and *gender and teaching styles--the potential of different teaching approaches for the attainment of equity. The book draws some radical new conclusions about the ways that traditional teaching methods lead to limited forms of knowledge that are ineffective in non-school settings. This edition has been revised for the North American market to show the relevance of the study results in light of the U.S. reform movement, the "math wars" and debates about teachers, assessment, and tracking. The details of the study have been rewritten for an American audience and the results are compared with research conducted in the U.S. This is an important volume for mathematics teachers and researchers, education policymakers, and for students in mathematics education courses. NOTE: This is a revised edition of Experiencing School Mathematics first published in 1997 by Open University Press, © Jo Boaler. This revised edition is for sale in North America only.

Experiential Learning Design: Theoretical Foundations and Effective Principles
by Colin BeardExperiential Learning Design comprehensively demonstrates the key theories and applications for the design of experiential approaches to learning and training. Learning is gradually moving away from management and delivery of content, and toward experiences that encourage learners to engage and take greater responsibility for their own progress. This book’s empirically sound, multi-disciplinary approach balances technical-rational and artistic-intuitive design elements to accommodate the complex, fluctuating capacities of human learning. In-depth chapters cover design principles, social and environmental factors in learning, the importance of senses and emotions, and links between body and brain. This bold, unique perspective shift will enrich the work of learning scientists, instructional designers, educational technologists, and beyond.
Experiential Learning and Community Partnerships for Sustainable Development: A Foundational Model for Climate Action (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Mara Huber Michael Jabot Christina HeathThis book addresses the growing demand for applied experiences that move students beyond learning into the realm of doing by supporting the development of skills and competencies that align with emerging areas of innovation and work. It considers the urgent need to promote and invest in skills that support sustainable development, such as those needed to analyze and mitigate climate change. The authors argue that this challenge provides an opportunity to reimagine the use of Experiential Learning, connecting students with community-based partners doing the work of sustainable development around the world. Featuring compelling case studies of project partners in Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania working to address the complexities of climate change, they offer a practical model for implementing Experiential Learning that can be translated and scaled across sectors and resource environments. It is aimed at scholars and educators working across higher education and international education with interests in digital and experiential education.
Experiential Learning and Outdoor Education: Traditions of practice and philosophical perspectives
by Jim Parry Pete AllisonThis book adds to the theoretical development of the emerging fields of experiential learning and outdoor education by examining the central concept, 'experience', and interrogating a central claim of experiential learning: whether, and if so how, a short-term singular experience can transform a participant’s life as a whole and in a permanent way. While such a possibility has been corroborated by the personal testimonies of participants, and the activities of instructors over many years, the book argues that we must go beyond this kind of ‘evidence’. In comparing Anglophone and continental approaches and drawing on the work of Dewey, Dilthey and Merleau-Ponty in the philosophy of experience, Experiential Learning and Outdoor Education presents the first detailed review of the concept of ‘experience’ in European philosophy, as applied to outdoor experiential learning. A vital insight into the field, this is important reading for students and researchers working in the philosophy of sport, and pedagogical theory, especially in areas relating to the outdoors, but also to experiential education more generally.

With comprehensive discussion of higher education initiatives and empirical examples of experiential learning in the workplace, this book is an important and timely read for those researching business enterprise, entrepreneurship and higher education more generally.
Experiential Learning for Professional Helpers
by Godfrey T. Barrett-LennardThis book describes in considerable depth and detail a series of workshops in therapeutic counselling in the early 1960s, for people working in social or mental health care who wished to expand their skillset and capabilities. The book is unique in its comprehensive retrospective viewpoint of the effect of these workshops: rather than merely adopting an objective stance by describing the processes, structures and impacts of intensive group work, the book invites us into the initial conversations in the room, and then follows the group members back into their lives, allowing us to see the longer term impact of participation some ten years later. Finally, Barrett-Lennard reflects on the group, and on the history of the profession more generally, and makes a compelling argument that the foundations of the group and the participants' motivation for fully participating in such an intensive process are as powerful today as they were in the 1960s. The blend of qualitative and long-term data is genuinely unique, and the work provides a valuable insight into the history of therapeutic counselling and training. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of psychology and psychotherapy, as well as practising therapists and trainees who want to do meaningful work with their client groups.

Experiential Learning in Geography: Experience, Evaluation and Encounters
by Jonathan E. WessellThis book provides insight into the importance and impacts that experiential learning has in geographic education by examining the experience, the methods of evaluation, and the encounters that students have shared about their experiences. It allows the reader to gain insight into what it really takes to prepare and lead students in such experiences both domestically and internationally.
