A presumption behind work-integrated learning activities such as internship programmes is that student thinking will shift as a result of exposure to industry practice. We wondered if all students experience this change in the positive sense that teachers expect. To examine this presumption we asked to what extent and in what ways students reorient their thinking about self and identity as a result of an internship experience. Analysis of student reflections following a structured internship programme leads us to believe that not all students experience a shift in thinking, and that their personal narratives speak instead to a complex relation of modalities.

The article analyzes using Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for teaching one of the optional humanities disciplines to Ukrainian university students of different majors. The discipline discussed in the article as an example of using CLIL methodology is “The Fundamentals of Psychology and Pedagogy” and it is in the list of optional humanities subjects for the first-year students of Alfred Nobel University in Dnipro, Ukraine. However, unlike the other optional humanities disciplines, the methodology underlying this course is based on teaching the subject in English, instead of Ukrainian, following the CLIL approach widely used in the European education but still little known in Ukraine. The purpose of the paper is to expose and analyze the original methodology developed that conditioned the specific structure of the relevant course, and the specific learning activities used in it. The essence of the developed CLIL theory-based methodology and its practical application are manifested through learning activities that include students’ mini-lectures/workshop-type presentations, brainstorming, case-studies, discussions, and a learning project with its results summarized in students’ essays, abstracts, and summaries written in English. The students collect the information required for completing their tasks not only from the teacher’s lectures and the recommended literature but also (and mostly) by way of doing extensive Internet-search on psychological and pedagogical sites in English. All this makes CLIL in the case under discussion experiential-interactive (through personal experience in extra-linguistic subject-related activities gained in interaction with other students), blended (with the organic combination of traditional in-class learning and out-of-class online information search), autonomous (students’ autonomous learning activities-centered), and cooperative (with those activities being done in students’ cooperative interaction). As the result, students mostly self-construct their knowledge of the discipline by way of using the target language as the tool for such self-construction. This makes the elaborated course a clear-cut case of constructivism in CLIL pedagogy. Subject Classification Numbers: PACS 01.40.-d (Education)

One of the problems faced by universities noday is still a lack of learning systems that can support good teaching and learning quality and efficient. Currently, there are still learning methods which are conventional in which learning is still running in one direction, where the student fixated on material submitted by the lecturer in front and make the student tend to feel tired and passive. As an alternative to solving the problem is to provide the latest teaching innovations iLearning System (Integrated Learning), or in Indonesian called integrated learning system that is applied is one form to improve the quality to a modern and quality education. The reason the application of this method of learning iLearning we hope to provide a learning system that is more active and has a strong reciprocity between faculty and students, because the learning process of innovative and efficient will certainly add to the fun and spirit of the student so that the student was will not feel bored and passive. Using iLearning student can learn more optimally, they can see and read materials provided by lecturers in their respective iPad. Not only that students can easily do exercises / quiz, browsing, sending tasks, discussed and recorded with iPad without having to spend a stationery. Given these practical learning may help in improving the quality of learning activities based iLearning on Higher Education, and eventually gained a graduate or Human Resources (HR) that are reliable and able to compete in an era of globalization characterized by high competition.

Background: College students majoring in psychology often report low interest and engagement in statistics and research methods courses. Objective: The purpose of the current study was to examine potential benefits of integrating movement with learning activities in Introduction to Statistics and Research Methods courses at the college level. Method: A quasi-experimental design examined movement-based learning activities compared to traditional learning activities during class periods. Students’ perceptions of the activities were assessed using an experience sampling method. Result: Hierarchical linear models revealed that students rated the movement-integrated activities higher compared to control activities for the following subscales: physical, affect, enjoyment, concentration, and social states. Conclusion: College students may benefit from integration of the movement learning activities into statistics and research methods classes. Teaching Implications: Movement-integrated learning activities offer the potential to increase physical activity, increase positive affect, enhance concentration, and provide opportunities to socialize with classmates. We offer specific techniques for incorporating movement into the college classroom.
