Documenting and characterizing interactions between student interns and their mentors in the workplace offers perspective on student learning and enculturation that can help us introduce these ways of learning to students in the technical communication classroom, even before the internship. Three student intern conversations in the internship setting are the focus of this close discourse analysis, framed by 6-month-long case studies and Vygotsky’s learning theory. Results indicate that many similarities exist between classroom feedback and mentor feedback in the internship, but that differences in student agency may make negotiation important in the technical communication classroom.

The purpose of this paper is to make the children's stories of the Prophets in the Koran as a basic method of child education. The background of the lack of studies in children's education that makes the Koran as the basis for the development of education and learning theory. In addition, the College of Religious Islam is supposed to close by the Koran thus many choose Western- secular theory . The theory used in this paper is a story in the Quran and learning methodologies . Using data from the literature and discourse analysis, this paper found that the prophetic method of educating children in the Koran are prenatally using monologues and after birth using the method of dialogue with intuitive engineering - shar'ī , case studies , emotive and scientific debate.Tujuan tulisan ini adalah menjadikan kisah-kisah anak para Nabi dalam Alquran sebagai dasar metode pendidikan anak. Ini dilatarbelakangi dari minimnya kajian dalam pendidikan anak yang menjadikan Alquran sebagai dasar pengembangan teori pendidikan dan pembelajaran. Selain itu, Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam yang seharusnya dekat dengan Alquran justru banyak memilih teori Barat-sekuler. Teori yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah qashâsh al-qur’ân dan metodologi pembelajaran. Dengan menggunakan data pustaka dan analisis wacana tulisan ini menemukan bahwa metode kenabian dalam mendidik anak dalam Alquran adalah sebelum lahir menggunakan metode monolog dan setelah lahir menggunakan metode dialog dengan teknik intuitif-syar‘i, studi kasus, emotif dan debat ilmiah.

The purpose of this systematic analysis of nursing simulation literature between 2000 –2007 was to determine how learning theory was used to design and assess learning that occurs in simulations. Out of the 120 articles in which designing nursing simulations was reported, 16 referenced learning or developmental theory as the basis of how and why they set up the simulation. Of the 16 articles that used a learning type of foundation, only two considered learning as a cognitive task. More research is needed that investigates the efficacy of simulation for improving student learning. The study concludes that most nursing faculty approach simulation from a teaching paradigm rather than a learning paradigm. For simulation to foster student learning there must be a fundamental shift from a teaching paradigm to a learning paradigm and a foundational learning theory to design and evaluate simulation should be used. Examples of how to match simulation with learning theory are included.

With a mission of creating a new paradigm of instructional methods to increase engagement in student learning in order to help develop more resilient students in a high-needs school district, this study examined implementation of the flipped classroom model in an early childhood and childhood education setting. This chapter will start by locating challenges in the current K-12 educational field. It will then examine how flipped classroom model approaches will simultaneously help educators meet long-standing challenges and support teachers to meet the diverse needs of students. This chapter will further discuss a pedagogical rationale for the flipped classroom model. It will then proceed to showcase best practices in utilizing the Flipped Classroom (FC) Model through the presentation of multiple teacher case studies. Lastly, this chapter will discuss considerations that should be examined while executing the Flipped Classroom model.

This chapter examines the use of discourse analysis in the study of foreign policy. In the study of international relations, discourse analysis is associated with post-structuralism, a theoretical approach that shares realism’s concern with states and power, but differs from realism’s assumption that states are driven by self-interest. It also takes a wider view of power than realists normally do. Post-structuralism draws upon, but also challenges, realism’s three core assumptions: groupism, egoism, and power-centrism. The chapter first considers the theoretical principles that inform post-structuralist discourse analysis before discussing the research designs and methodological techniques employed by discourse analysts. It also offers examples and four learning boxes featuring mini-case studies and locates poststructuralist discourse analysis within the field of foreign policy analysis. Finally, it assesses the strengths and weaknesses of post-structuralist discourse analysis.

This article investigates how commercial and government-based sectors in the Philippines deploy emotive mechanisms to promote the importance of connectivity services in addressing the affective and transnational needs of overseas Filipinos. By combining a walkthrough method with critical discourse analysis, the study compares and contrasts the interface, operating model and mode of governance of three selected case studies in the Philippines: Western Union, LBC Express Inc. and BaLinkBayan. The findings reveal that the emotionalising techniques of connectivity services construct what we call ‘platformed migrant subjectivity’. This conception articulates migrants as economic subjects and valued clientele within the commercial infrastructures and operations of an online platform. In sum, this article takes a nuanced approach to examine how commercial and government institutions utilise online platforms in mobilising emotional, transnational and digital transactions, which may redefine a migrant’s subjectivity, mobility and citizenship in a digital era.
