Adult Education - Science topic

The workforce must constantly evolve, yet many struggle to let go of outdated practices. How can organizations embed unlearning and relearning into their professional culture? Should leadership promote adaptive mindsets through ongoing training, mentorship, or organizational restructuring? How can companies and the workforce balance stability with the need for continuous reinvention, ensuring employees remain receptive to change without experiencing burnout or resistance?

For working professionals pursuing online postgraduate studies, time is both the biggest asset and the greatest challenge. Unlike full-time students, working adults must complete demanding assignments back-to-back while also fulfilling their job responsibilities. In fast-paced programs sometimes structured within just 7-week semesters and there is little room for error, reflection, or deep academic engagement.

One of the most pressing concerns is the struggle to find time for quality work. Assignments often require in-depth research, critical thinking, and well-developed arguments, yet limited availability of faculty guidance and tight deadlines can hinder academic performance. Moreover, securing appointments with lecturers can be a challenge, as their schedules may conflict with working students' availability, leaving many unsure if they are on the right track.

This reality raises an important question: How can postgraduate online programs strike a better balance between rigorous academic expectations and the time constraints of working adults?

Let’s discuss practical solutions that can help make online postgraduate education a more sustainable and enriching experience for professionals.

There are many indications that we are entering an era in which generative artificial intelligence, including intelligent chatbots and AI agents, is becoming an essential element of education, opening the door to personalised and interactive learning. However, it is crucial that this innovative approach is not only effective, but above all safe, ethical and compliant with didactic principles and social norms. The use of AI in education is not only a technological issue, but above all a pedagogical and social one, requiring a deep understanding and a responsible approach. Personalisation of the learning process, interactive tools to support students and automation of teachers' routine tasks are just some of the potential benefits of generative AI. However, in order to fully utilise these benefits, it is necessary to ensure data security, protect against misinformation, adhere to ethical principles and adapt educational content to the individual needs of students and the social context. In this context, scientific research plays a key role, providing knowledge and tools for the responsible implementation of AI in education, which will contribute to the creation of an education system that is not only effective, but above all friendly and safe for students.

The research and observations I have conducted show that artificial intelligence technology has been developing rapidly in recent years and is finding new applications, with new opportunities and threats emerging. I have described the main determinants, including the potential opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology, in the article below:

In my opinion, the fact that many children and young people around the world have no access to education limits their development opportunities and exacerbates inequalities. Lack of education means a lack of opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills that are necessary for success. Children who do not go to school are often forced to work, which prevents them from developing. Lack of education also leads to social exclusion. This problem particularly affects girls and children from marginalised families. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase spending on education, build schools, train teachers and ensure access to education for girls and children from marginalised families. Research plays an important role in solving this problem.

Dear Research Gate community,

I am reaching out in a moment of great importance in my academic journey. Unfortunately, my former supervisor retired, leaving me without guidance to complete and publish an article based on my thesis. Despite my efforts, I have not yet found the right mentor in my research area to help me navigate this process.

The article is a culmination of years of research and holds significant potential in its field. I am deeply committed to ensuring it reaches publication, and I believe the right collaboration can make this possible.

If you are an expert in Emotional states in learning process or know someone who might be willing to supervise and guide me in this endeavor, I would be immensely grateful for your support or recommendations. Your assistance at this critical juncture could make a profound difference in my academic life.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Sara Shadabi

Disinformation is currently the most frequently cited problem occurring in social media from which children and young people gain knowledge. Companies engage advertising companies that specialize in running online advertising campaigns, in which advertising spots, videos and banners informing people about promotional offers for products and services sold are posted on social media. The aforementioned online social media are also viewed by children and teenagers. For some of these social media, the primary audiences for profiled information and marketing messages are mainly school-aged youth. Children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to the influence of information transferred through the aforementioned online media. Advertisements are thematically profiled to correlate with issues that are in the field of the main interests of children and adolescents. Unfortunately, many offers of various products and services promoted through online advertising campaigns are not suitable for children and adolescents and/or generate a lot of negative effects. Nowadays, applications based on generative artificial intelligence technology, intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to generate banners, graphics, photos, videos, animations, advertising spots. With the help of these tools, which are available on the Internet, it is possible to create a photo, graphic or video on the basis of a written command, i.e. a kind of digitally generated works of such high graphic quality that it is very difficult to determine whether they are, for example, authentic photos taken with a camera or smartphone or are supposedly photos generated by an intelligent chatbot. It is especially difficult to resolve this kind of issue for children and young people who view these kinds of artificial intelligence technology-generated "works" used in banners or advertising videos. It is necessary, therefore, that education should develop in children the ability to think critically, to ask questions, to question the veracity of the content of advertisements, not to accept uncritically everything found in online social media. It is essential to add the issue of learning critical thinking to the process of educating children and young people. The goal of such education should be, among other things, to develop in children and young people the ability to identify disinformation, including the increasingly common factoids, deepfakes, etc. in online social media. In connection with the fact that in the creation of disinformation occurring mainly in the aforementioned social media are involved applications based on artificial intelligence, so children and adolescents should, within the framework of education, learn about the applications available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology, through which it is possible to generate texts, graphics, photos, drawings, animations and videos in a partially automated manner according to a given verbal command. This is how the applications available on the Internet based on the new technologies of Industry 4.0/5.0, including generative artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies, should be used to help develop critical thinking and a kind of resistance to misinformation in young people. During school lessons, students should learn about the capabilities of AI-based applications available on the Internet and use them creatively to develop critical thinking skills. In this way, it is possible to reduce disinformation directed through online social media towards children and young people.

I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT

I described the applications of Big Data technologies in sentiment analysis, business analytics and risk management in my co-authored article:

I've recently released a software package that combines my research interests (history of science and statistics) and my day job (machine learning and statistical modelling) It is called timeline_ai (see https://github.com/coppeliaMLA/timeline_ai) It extracts and then visualises timelines from the text of pdfs. It works particularly well on history books and biographies. Here are two examples:

The extraction is done using a large language model so there are occasional inaccuracies and “hallucinations". To counter that I've made the output checkable. You can click on each event and it will take you the page the event was extracted from. So far it has performed very well. I would love some feedback on whether people think it would be useful for research and education.

India has made progress in its literacy rate because of adult education programmes but unfortunately adult education in India is seen as a discipline for literacy only.

This discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities in adult education in India. It also explore the main reasons behind lack of advancements in Adult education in India as the subject despite having lots of scope still struggling in academia.

Some other potential discussion points could include the lack of funding for research, the need for collaboration between researchers, government, and practitioners and the potential impact of demographic shift on policy and practice.

The higher and tertiary education sector is witnessing an era of supra-national, national, and institutional challenges. The challenges include; massification via candidate enrolments, politically influenced policies , interculturality, teaching innovations in higher education, and unprecedented effects of climate change. These are exacerbating significant episodes of big man syndrome.

In recent years, the world has been increasingly influenced by the ongoing fourth technological revolution. Industry 4.0, biotechnologies, green technologies, innovation, etc. are being developed. The development of information processing technologies in the era of the current technological revolution termed Industry 4.0 is determined by the development and growth of applications of ICT information technologies, internet technologies and advanced data processing. The current technological revolution defined as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following technologies, analytical techniques, ICT solutions, etc. : learning machines, deep learning, artificial intelligence, smart technologies, Big Data Analytics, Data Science, cloud computing, machine learning, personal and industrial Internet of Things, Business Intelligence, autonomous robots, horizontal and vertical data system integration, multi-criteria simulation models, digital twins, additive manufacturing, Blockchain, cyber security instruments, Virtual and Augmented Reality and other advanced data processing technologies Data Mining. New technologies and innovations are emerging from research institutes, R&D centres, new technology development centres, technology companies, universities and other entities, among others. On the other hand, newly emerging innovations and technologies find new practical and business applications through their implementation in the various fields of activity of actors. Also schools, colleges and universities try to implement new technologies into their activities, so as not to lag behind the technological progress.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this subject?

Please respond,

Hello Scholars and Practitioners,

I just completed a study investigating the effect of competition in gamified online discussions. Moving forward, I'd like to pursue other aspects in gamified learning for my dissertation.

I wonder if there are scholars or practitioners in this community that are implementing gamification in their research, platform, courses, or training, and are willing to discuss and see opportunities for collaboration.

Many thanks.

In a given class room, if all the class is unable to understand what you teach, and the whole class scores F grade (Fixed grading system), is there possibility that the whole class is dismissed? In other words, if the whole class scores an average grade of less than the pass mark cut point in all the subjects, can the whole class be dismissed? Assume 10 subjects are taught by 10 different teachers.

Adult college students who are over 30 are facing some challenges when they come back to colleges from work. What are the possible challenges? And how to deal with it? Some suggestions or modifictions for them or colleges?

Nowadays high-quality free stuff is easily accessible to everyone who has internet access. People use those open sources and gain knowledge, skills, and competence in the fields of their choice. In most cases, the understanding and competence level of such people is better as compared to those degree/diploma holders who attend formal schools, colleges and universities. Here a question arises if we should develop a system of assessment to acknowledge the achievement of such people and award degrees and diplomas for which they qualify. I personally believe it would be an injustice if we deprive them of the diplomas and degrees on the plea that they were unable to attend school because of financial or other reasons otherwise they possess the required knowledge, skills, and competence.

I like to do my Ph.D in mechanical engineering. My first option is Deemed to be University in India. And the Deemed to be university is approved by the University grands commission.

But some people are telling, studying in Deemed to be university is not valid. And telling you are not able to get a job in foreign countties.

Please clarify my doubt.

La plupart des théories de l'apprentissage et de l'enseignement sont basées sur le postulat que la connaissance est dans la tête ou le cerveau. Et si ce n'était pas le cas?

À mon avis, l'emplacement des connaissances dans la tête ou dans le cerveau est un postulat. Un postulat est un « Principe non démontré que l'on accepte et que l'on formule à la base d'une recherche ou d'une théorie » (CNRTL).

Dear researchers, I am writing a thesis on self-regulated learning and Al-Ghazali's views in education. Are there any similarities? What new views on education/Tarbiyah can be applied? please help books or references that support.

Hi,

I am currently trying to determine which questions in Schommers epistemological beliefs questionnaire belong to each of the 5 dimensions: simple knowledge, certain knowledge, omniscient authority, inate ability and quick learning

Does anybody know of a study that lists these as I can only see 2 examples for each in the original study and subsequent others

Thanks

The classroom is comprised of different individuals, each of them with their own uniqueness, and having been admitted into the institution of learning gives them access to learn, and also right to enjoy that learning just like every other person.

In the variety of students in our classrooms are brilliant, gifted and talented children. However in the same classroom are physically challenged persons whose desire is also to learn, and gain quality knowledge. In some situations, some teachers see those physically challenged as burdens, and they do nothing or less to carry them along thereby denying them access to adequate learning.

With the advancement of science and technology comes with solutions to how those learners can also learn, and also help teachers who couldn't help them to actually carry them along, and that brought the introduction of assistive technologies.

What are some of those assistive technologies that a teacher can advise those learners to get in order to learn adequately just like others even as he/she helps in anyway possible?

How can those technologies be used?

Do those technologies have merits, and demerits?

Remember everyone have the best they can contribute, likewise the physically challenged, and if we don't do anything to help them, how can the best in them be activated?

Your response is needed.

Thanks.

Is age an important factor in obtaining a PhD? or is it entirely dependent on the discipline of study, area, and/or offering institution?

Most often, we hear that someone is too young or too old to hold a PhD in certain fields, such as social sciences (too young), science, and engineering (too old). A quick look at the statistics suggests that this idea is supported in some way, as seen below.

31.3 in the life sciences

30.2 in physical sciences

32.4 in the social sciences

30.5 points for engineering

40.5 years of education

34.5 points for humanities

36.1 Other non-S&E fields

Although there are a few exceptions, such as some senior citizens graduating with a PhD at the age of more than 80, the tendency appears to be as stated above.

What are your thoughts on the link between age and Postgraduate education, as well as the discipline of study?

Exams with open-ended questions are so beneficial to understand include personal feelings, opinions, or ideas but it is very hard to read(evaluate). Do you have any method are you using to read(evaluate) open-ended questions in exams?

MOOCS are gaining momentum and popularity among higher educational institutions over the globe due to their unique features to escalate access, equity and quality based education. Kindly suggest your opinion supported by valid text.

Hello everyone,

I am adopting and adapting a survey which have 5 scales (commitment control, emotion control, ect) to measure self-regulation of language learning (a certain skill), the aim of the survey as I mentioned to measure the high and low self-regulation capacity among participants.

How can I use the questionnaire to generate more interesting findings? other than just the low and high self-regulation? can you inspire me with some creative ideas?

I was thinking to see gender differences among groups, and to add a part about socio-economic status.

Please inspire me with new ideas without having to make major changes to the survey. Let me know also the name of the tests required for the specific idea.

Thank you.

I was once asked to volunteer to teach a philosophy course for U3A. I had to turn down the request because of the excessive time involved in travelling to and from the venue, otherwise I would have been happy to do it. However, I later learned that even volunteer instructors were required to become fee-paying members of their U3A chapter. Since I had no interest in availing myself of their services I thought that policy was a bit much.

In most cases, educators receive their training before they start working or at the early stages of their working life. In very few cases, they receive retraining to update and upskill. With time the methodologies used by educators become obsolete. With time, there will be a need for retraining and upskilling for the teachers.

Whose responsibility should it be then to retrain and upskill the masses of teachers with outdated ways of doing things? Especially when the environment is completely changed overnight as is the case with the transition from face to face teaching to Online teaching because of the pandemic?

Should the teachers invest in their own training and retraining or the government and other authorities be responsible? What do you think? Please share your thoughts.

I am developing a quasi experimental study in the field of game-based learning and initially I intended to use different subjects for both control and experimental. But, due to covid-19 restrictions, I will only have access to my experimental group sample. In the past (some months before starting the experimental intervention), I developed an exploratory approach with the same group that I didn’t publish yet.

Summing up, my question is: what is the scientific validity of using the same subjects, in different points in time as both control and experimental group? What issues can be anticipated?

Thank you so much!

What students in schools and students at universities should learn, what skills should they improve and acquire beyond the knowledge itself?

In education, it is not only about transferring knowledge, but also about the ability to use this knowledge, to acquire, search, process and use it to implement projects. In some fields of study, apart from the knowledge itself, it is important to develop students 'and students' skills, inter alia, regarding the activation of teamwork, critical thinking, participation in debates and discussions, entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity, specific computer programs related to the field of study, etc.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

In the context of the above issues, the following question is valid:

Who evaluate the performance of the professors at your university?

How do they do that?

What do you see positive and negative in this evaluation procedure?

What does the theory say about the evaluation of teacher performance?

'Students just dont want to study; they are here to waste time!'

I have heard this phrase many times; so are the students solely to be blamed?

We will find many students who just dont seem to have the motivation to learn. So how to solve this problem?

How about asking students to write down their own learning outcomes; what do they want from this Economics course? What ends do they have in mind when they join this program; and then use this input to offer students what they want to learn instead of forcing down topics which they just dont seem to relate closely with?

Look forward to my fellow researcher's valuable inputs in this regard.

I am in the process of writing a literature review paper on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Google Scholar shows more than 52700 publications talking about MOOC and I assume most of Edu. Databases will show more or less number. This is even if the first MOOC was introduced in 2008!

I know your recommendations and insights will enlighten the work. Please tell me first what you believe the future of MOOC will be and then recommend the keystones articles in your point of view.

I am interested in reading on any theoretical treatises and empirical studies on the application of critical pedagogy & education / feminist (if any) with with children and/or adults with intellectual disabilities. Reference to critical pedagogy with children and/or adults with physical disabilities is also of interest. Yet, I seem to be drawing a blank on both accounts but especially the former. I would appreciate any suitable directions.

I am looking for the most recent research and developments connecting conation and post-training soft skills application (2015 to present).

Thoughts?

Be it resilience, communications, leadership, diversity & inclusion, etc., many of us have been provided soft skills training. Some of which we used and some of which we did not. If you are over 18 years old, have had any type of soft skills training and would be willing to share a few minutes with me to answer a few questions concerning why you used or did not use the soft skills learned, please use the link below to contact me. For anonymity please do not volunteer in the comments area of this post.

Tenure Track System is one of the distinguished pay scale in universities all over the world. People are given honor alot while they are on tenure track system in USA universities. What is the importance of Sabbatical leave in this system? A person on sabbatical leave should be considered working for the parent university even when he is in Child university?

Is there such thing as false interpretation in Literature?

There are probably several options in educating software engineers. As far as I know, certain understanding is developing in that applied mathematics or engineering are not the only acceptable backgrounds for software developers. But how can practical education be differentiated in terms of students' backgronds and related knowledge communities? Are there relevant educational frameworks that can be applied?

What Is the principles of Adult Education?

A lot of attention (research) is nowadays paid to the child-oriented DRR approaches, but adults will need to act now and the level of their preparedness is rather low. How we can enhance it? How we can educate them and motivate them to learn about DRR? ... in Europe conditions.

How do we build an effective Faculty Learning Community ? This is my new action project. Any ideas is greatly appreciated! 

Looking forward to creating a set of resources for everyone to easily access and learn from.

While I have been trained to teach online and in hybrid environments, many teachers and faculty are being suddenly through into a new realm with the onset of quarantine measures regarding the coronavirus.

What are your tips for best practices, insights, tips on teaching online? For instance, do you like using synchronous means of interaction via Zoom room perhaps, or asynchronous methods? How do you manage group work? Do you use PowerPoints with voice over? and how do you manage creating an inclusive online environment for those with disabilities or varied cognitive learning styles?

Kindly share the key strategies, techniques and practices which makes the learning process indeed effective. The key ingredients for quality teaching.

Note: it is not focused on a quality teacher; rather on how can learning take place more effectively.

I need help for a research project I'm doing. I want to know what expressions are expressed in students' faces at class when they don't understand a topic a Professor is explaining. Do you know where I can find information? Any recommendable paper? All help is welcome.

Thank you so much in advance.

Pakistani universities are offering two pay scales these days. ?Basic Pay scale and tenure track system. Which one is better and what are pros and cons?

Here is an ethical dilemma I would like to share with you guys to seek constructive feedback, thanks in advance:

A mother of one of my students came to me in tears and begged me that I pass her failing daughter in my course.

The mother said that she lost her husband in the war and that she is struggling to financially support her daughter.

I told the mother that my help to them is to give her daughter another chance to resit for the test and they thanked me.

The student did resit for the test, but when I came to score her answer sheet I discovered that she changed one of the question in her test paper with another that I did not ask! Additionally, her answer to the second question was not even close to English! She merely grouped letters to mock English! I wonder if she has been mocking me!

The mother was a real thorn in the ass doing the same with other professors. I don't know whether she was telling the truth about her difficult circumstances.

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Dear Colleagues! As far as, from your point of view, it is possible (and justified) to implement the concept of Life Long Learning in a professional academic career by completely withdrawing from a successful scientific (teaching) activity, including with a defended doctoral thesis activity in a professional business activity (possibly with a corresponding new education / degree), not connected in any way with research and teaching activities? Do you know and can you give examples of such personal career development?

Dear Colleagues! How, from your point of view, is possible (and justified) the implementation of the concept of Life Long Learning in a professional (non-academic) business career through the complete withdrawal from a successful business activity, including with the preparation and defense of a doctoral dissertation with subsequent teaching (research) activities? Do you know and can you give examples of such personal career development?

Dear Colleagues! In your opinion, how possible (and justified) is the implementation of the concept of Life Long Learning in the academic field by preparing and defending a second (third, etc.) doctoral dissertation in a new direction for a scientist? Do you know and can you give examples of such a scientific career development?

Dear Colleagues! Is it possible to consider, from your point of view, taking into account the concept of Life Long Learning, a person of the age category 40+ "young scientists", if at that age he only defended his doctoral thesis? And if 50+? And more? Why?

How is personality development a part of education? Should formal education include the aspect of character formation?

Potential Research Participants,

Hello, my name is Jodi Allen and I am currently a PhD student at Capella University, my Specialization is Education in Instructional Design for Online Learning. My research topic is to identify and describe the strategies and models experienced Instructional Designers use when designing and developing instruction for adult learners were learners use assistive technology as part of their learning. I will describe the process of selecting models the expert instructional designer use when designing instruction for adult education with the use of assistive technology. Peterson-Karlan (2015), provided insight that when planning and providing the subject content the instructional designer should consider the types of assistive technology and education technology that are available where the course will be used.

This approved basic qualitative research study consists of semi-structured interviews, both online and face-to-face semi-structured interviews related to the research topic and problem. I am providing the online interview process to be able to reach as many experts in the field of Instructional Design who design and develop instruction for adult learners who use Assistive Technology in the learning environment as possible.

You are invited to be in the study because you are:

About twelve to fifteen participants will participate in this study.

If you decide to be in this study, your participation will last about one to three hours for the semi-structured interview and again for member checking the transcription of the interview. The member checking can be conducted via email or in person, whichever is convenient for you. The researcher does request the transcription be reviewed within 72 hours of receipt and the researcher receives the feedback at that time.

If you decide to be in this study and if you sign the consent form, you will do the following things:

You will be audiotaped for the semi-structured interview portion of this study only. I will then use the audiotape to ensure all information revealed in the interview is captured from your perspective. To ensure data accuracy, I will only use the recordings of you for the purposes you read about on the semi structured online interview formal consent form. I will not use the recordings for any other reasons without your permission unless you sign another consent form. The recordings will be kept for seven years and will be destroyed after seven years.

If you would like to be a part of my research study and meet the above criteria please email me at Jallen99@capellauniveristy.edu, chopper63@comcast.net, or contact me at 847-445-9140.

Thank you,

I'm studying about parent sexual education. I want to research parents of childeren with ASD. If you have any knowledge or research please contact me. (It can be private message)

Thanks...

Teach only what the student is able to learn. Or better, teach only the most of what you can actively share with your student.

Some eventual arguments:

1. Knowledge is not transmittable.

2. The meaning of knowledge can’t be the same within deep experience or within poor experience.

3. The locus of knowledge to be learned is in between, let’s say, the master of dance and the student, both in action. The beginner dancer dances better because of the help of the master.

In this example, the new knowledge seems to be "in between" (master vs learner). It is not completely the deep knowledge of the Master since he reduces his possibilities to adapt them to the beginner, and it is neither the actual possibilities of the beginner since he dances better only because he is helped by the master. So there is some knowledge enacted "in between" by both of them. What is then the nature of this knowledge that is short of what the teacher knows and beyond what the beginner already knows?

4. Etc.

Comment: The term expert is used here in a very wide sense: it just means that the teacher knows better and more than the student. For example, one doesn't need to be an expert mathematician to teach math at the primary level. At the university level, at least, you would need to be an expert to teach math.

Very often we see that the educated people do crimes in their everyday lives. Societies are different. Crimes are also different in terms of intensity. The questions arise: Does the formal education system help our students become good citizens? Is not it expected that educated people will act with better morality than others? Is this true that the moral sense in human is connected to formal education?

I am writing my masters capstone paper on the effects of chronic disease/disability on adult learners' desire to engage in or persist in adult education experiences (distance and F2F programs). I hope to find reference to significant contributors or research related to this idea.

I am planning my graduate thesis on mature students at Trent University; their challenges, their needs, and their awareness and use of supports within the school. While I will be making use of ERIC and other suitable databases, I would love to hear about current research on this subject. I would also like to know about any existing support systems or other services/accomodations within other institutions which are tailored to mature students. Content from Canada would be wonderful, but I am equally interested in how the needs of these students are handled (or not) across the globe. Thanks for your assistance.

I would like to know if it makes sense to perform a statistical analysis to evaluate how to improve the learning process and the teaching process during teaching. When teaching physics, chemistry or mathematics, does it have any utility to evaluate additional data to test scores and to the fulfillment of the program in class? How does the teaching process in the best teaching centers, the statistics that work for them, make sense, or is it simply a matter of quality in the knowledge and appropriate strategies? Greetings.

I am working on an audience analysis for a proposed workshop on using Angelo & Cross (1993) Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) in post-secondary education and training environments.  A response to the following prompts would be greatly appreciated:

Does your position includes teaching responsibilities?

Does your background include coursework in adult education teaching theory and methods?

Does your institution promote or require the use of classroom assessment techniques (including online modes) as a research-based method for improving teaching and learning?  Do you think they should?

Does your institution provide or offer any workshops or seminars for full and part-time (including adjunct) faculty on the use of classroom assessments techniques? Do you think they should?

Would you be interested in attending (face-to-face, online or blended) a workshop or seminar on implementing practical, research-based, effective methods such as CATs to improve teaching and learning?
