“…It defines a learning style in relation to the extent of being concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Kolb learning style is adopted in this research as it is a well-established model which has been widely used and validated (Baker, Jensen, & Kolb 1997;Herz & Merz, 1998;Specht & Sandlin, 1991;Chi-Ching & Noi, 1994). It also has application across different disciplines such as business and management and Information Systems (Kolb & Kolb, 2009) and is the most commonly used learning style tool in elearning studies (Dringus & Terrell, 1999;Federico, 2000;Terrell, 2002;Wang et al, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper aims to identify individual characteristics that motivate learners to use mobile-learning. It sheds light on our current knowledge by a) examining an m-learning adoption model which accounts for learners' characteristics (learning style and personal innovativeness) in addition to previously studied mobile platform characteristics and b) considering the context in which learning occurs (formal and informal). A framework has been introduced and empirically tested. Results suggest that individuals' learning style and perceived playfulness influence m-learning usage in both learning situations; while performance expectancy and personal innovativeness are only influential in specific learning contexts. This study highlights the role of learners' characteristics in m-learning adoption and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between various types of m-learning. This multi-disciplinary research enriches m-learning literature and offers practical implications for educators using mobile technologies as well as developers of virtual learning platforms.

“…Research in motivational psychology and conversational learning provides evidence that most people engage in integrated learning and knowing (e. g. Baker, 1995;Baker et al, 1997;Belenky et al, 1986;Kuhl, 2001). They intertwine affective and cognitive aspects of reasoning; they overcome the dialectical tension between apprehension and comprehension in learning.…”

Towards sustainability in the water sector – The importance of human actors and processes of social learning

Current regimes in resource management are often unsustainable as judged by ecological, economic and social criteria. Many technological resource management regimes are inflexible and not built to adapt to changes in environmental, economic or social circumstances. This inflexibility poses problems in a world characterized by fast change. The water sector is currently undergoing major processes of transformation at local, regional and global scales. Today's situation is challenged by uncertainties, e. g., in water demand (diminishing in industrialized countries, rising in developing countries), by worsening water quality, by pressure for cost-efficient solutions, and by fast changing socio-economic boundary conditions. One expects additional uncertainties, due to climate change, such as a shift in the pattern of extreme Aquatic Sciences events. Hence, new strategies and institutional arrangements are required to cope with risk and change in general. When one considers processes of transformation and change, the human dimension is of particular importance. Institutions and rule systems may cause resistance to change but can also enable and facilitate necessary transformation processes. This paper explores conceptual approaches in social learning and adaptive management. It introduces agent-based modelling, and the link between analytical modelling and participatory approaches as promising new developments to explore and foster changes towards sustainability and the required transformations in technological regimes and institutional settings.

“…Reflecting on the experience of a game or simulation is known as debriefing. The importance of debriefing as a part of the overall educational process is pivotal in transforming experience into learning (Baker & Jensen, 1997).…”

Learning Sustainable Development with a New Simulation Game

This new simulation game, the authors'first, has been created to introduce discipline-related concepts to a wider audience. The authors set out to create a game that would reduce an abstract concept to its basic components and present it within a frame, with the intent to capitalize on the benefits of gaming and simulation. The result of this creative effort is a card game called LEARNING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (LSD).This game is intended to create awareness to and explore attitudes toward environmental conservation and urban development. The concept of sustainable development has been chosen as the focus of the game, not only because it is one of the basic precepts of the authors'milieu but also because it presents a challenge in that it prompts players to reevaluate and potentially change their attitudes and behavior concerning routine practices. LSD has gone through extensive testing, revisions, and changes. Through this experience, the authors have concluded that simulation games can be used by practitioners and researchers to promote awareness to a novel concept in a particular field.
