REAL-LIFE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

摘要

While real-life learning is commonly identified with workplace or lifelong learning outside of an individual's initial pre-workforce education, this does not preclude real-life learning experiences occurring within Higher Education programs. This paper describes a program that aims to integrate real-life learning experiences into a pre-service teacher education program in a way that provides rich, contextualised learning experiences, provides a basis for meeting the requirements of external certification criteria that focus on evidence-based performance rather than on academic competencies, and provides students with authentic learning experiences in the effective use of ICT in their professional roles and classroom-based work.
