The Future

This chapter addresses the position of learning, teaching, and assessment in education with the particular emphasis on higher education (HE) in the built environment (BE) but also embeds the context of the contemporary approaches that have emerged in the BE which are built on a solid educational underpinning. The conceptions of “active learning” are addressed from the perspective of what the literature refers to but also some significant reference to action research adopted, rolled out, and evaluated in undergraduate built environment education by the author. The “learning by doing” mantra of among the BE educational community has begun to make inroads. There is a more engaging approach from academics to support learners. An identification of the areas where improvement may be achieved into the future and the possible areas where research might be explored to address and solve some of these pertinent issues.

To be able to achieve this aim, action research was used instead of exploratory studies. Action research is a group of people’s identifying a problem, doing something to solve the problem, seeing how successful they were and if they weren’t satisfied by the results their retrying; in short learning by doing and living [39]. One hundred fifty freshmen of a university in Turkey participated to the study. The researcher and a math teacher implemented to the study.

<div><p><em>This is an action research on “An Application of Logic in Everyday Life”. Logic is an important area of study which can be applied in our day to day life activities. So it is fair enough to do an action research on an application of logical. Action research is known by many other names such as participatory research, collaborative inquiry, emancipatory research, action learning, and contextual action research. But all these kinds are variations on a theme. In other words, we can simply say that action research is “learning by doing.” A group of people identify a problem, do something to resolve it, see how successful their efforts were, and if not satisfied, try again. Prof Kurt Lewin, a German psychologist, first coined the term ‘action research’ in his paper entitled, “Action Research and Minority Problems”, published in 1946(  Jagadish, 2012, p.108). Lewin is therefore known as the father of action research. </em></p></div>

This paper aims to examine the efficacious of using social constructivism in teaching sociolinguistics. The students of a bachelor’s degree in a department of English language and linguistics used to suffer in doing sociolinguistic projects and some of them failed in doing so although they obtained good marks in the written exams. This noteworthy dilemma led the researcher to conduct an action research as an attempt to discover the causes of this problem and to propose solutions. This action research took place in a sociolinguistic classroom for a one academic semester. The researcher decided to modify her teaching method by applying social constructivism theory which is embodied in student-centered method. Furthermore, the instructional scaffolding was used in the classroom to facilitate the knowledge flow and the students learning. The data was collected from the students’ performance in three related sociolinguistic tasks and to test the progress in the students’ cognitive and linguistic skills another data was collected from the course final project. The data revealed that students are struggling with the high level of cognitive abilities such as, applying, analyzing, justifying and thinking critically. Furthermore, students also lack some crucial linguistic and research skills such as, do phonetic transcription correctly, explain the findings based on the sociolinguistic theories and principals, highlight the importance of their work, steer clear of pilgrims and avoid redundancy in writing. The results of the action research showed that implementing social constructivism theory, which is based on the concept of learning by doing, in sociolinguistic classroom helped the students to absorb and digest the knowledge simultaneously with developing their cognitive skills.
