“…The instructor conceptualized the pedagogical design and explicitly used novel pedagogical methods to enhance the learning experience (Kolb, 1984; Apple, 2010). Students carry out directed and independent reflective and practical individual and collaborative active work. The learning space is extended to consider learning activities outside the classroom in public places and business facilities (Salinas-Navarro et al , 2020), and assessment methods are implemented according to authentic assessment principles (Wiggins, 2011). The novel learning experience is taken as an opportunity to enhance students’ citizenship and knowledge applicability concerning disciplinary content.…”

“…Currently, work on educational innovation in SCM&L requires systematic integration of learning requirements, pedagogical strategies, instructional approaches, educational resources and the recreation of learning experiences in a coordinated way, moving beyond isolated or partial aspects. Providing teaching and learning activities (TLAs) with coherence and a holistic perspective is crucial for enriching students’ education and enhancing their learning effectiveness (Salinas-Navarro et al , 2020).…”

“…Educational innovation should aim to provide effective ways of answering both what to learn and how to learn within specific academic requirements and contextual situations (Salinas-Navarro and Rodríguez Calvo, 2020). By addressing these questions, educational initiatives can integrate diverse strategies, approaches, and methods for innovation.…”

“…However, current research in SCM&L education predominantly focuses on contrasting differences in teaching disciplinary content, competency development, learning outcome definition and teaching methods, with limited emphasis on suitable pedagogical designs for active learning like experiential learning, challenge-based learning or service learning (Salinas-Navarro and Rodríguez Calvo, 2020;Salinas-Navarro et al, 2021;Salinas-Navarro et al, 2022). Accordingly, this work recognizes a research gap regarding limited work to guide pedagogical efforts that constructively support the active involvement of learners in the discipline.…”

Purpose This study aims to present a conceptual framework aimed at promoting educational innovation in supply chain management and logistics (SCM&L). The framework can help to design active learning experiences regarding student learning outcomes that tackle current challenges in the discipline. Emphasizing the significance of linking students’ learning to real-world scenarios, the framework enables reflective learning through hands-on engagement in a constructive alignment, overcoming existing pedagogical limitations in the field. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a qualitative research methodology that relies on the case study method. Three instances are presented to illustrate educational efforts of active learning in countries of Latin America, Bolivia, Mexico and Peru, linking real-world relevant situations to disciplinary teaching and learning. Findings The innovative learning experiences introduced in this study transform real-world SCM&L operations into distinctive educational opportunities. These experiences facilitate learning not only within traditional classrooms but also in urban areas of the Latin American region, enabling students to interact with educational partners in authentic settings to achieve their intended learning outcomes. These experiences are characterized by their focus on establishing meaningful connections between learning and local communities, businesses or specific contexts. Research limitations/implications The study recognizes various limitations of conceptual, methodological, execution-related and research process aspects. First, not all academics in the SCM&L discipline may universally acknowledge the importance of educational innovation and active learning experiences because of limited pedagogical awareness. Moreover, execution-related limitations arise from the demanding nature of incorporating active pedagogical approaches into courses, as they can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. Regarding research process limitations, the case study limits generalizability and broader inferences because of its particular views and locations, which require further investigation with other instances across other disciplines and geographical regions for validation. Practical implications The practical implementation of this framework within the MIT SCALE network for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) demonstrates its potential in meeting diverse academic and institutional expectations and providing educational benefits to students. Social implications The study makes a valuable contribution to prioritizing and coordinating pedagogical research by investigating the success of learning outcomes achieved through active and experiential implementations in various contexts. It provides inspiring examples of innovative learning experiences that can drive new developments not only within the LAC region but also in other areas, prompting a shift away from traditional educational approaches. Originality/value This research presents a conceptual framework, which is developed from the insights obtained in the three learning experiences to guide future efforts in SCM&L education. The findings demonstrate how to structure active learning experiences based on authentic assessment and illustrate the potential for increased cooperation among institutions in Latin America. It also promotes the recognition of novel SCM&L active learning experiences and highlights some of the benefits of this approach.

The body of work of Mike Jackson covers several major themes in OR/Systems Thinking and articulates key aspects of Critical Systems Thinking; with an interest throughout in applications to complex social challenges. In this paper, as a direct response to this Festschrift, and acknowledging his contribution to Community OR, five active UK‐based researchers have engaged in their own process of community‐based learning in order to articulate the ways Jackson's work resonates with their contemporary research and practice. The researchers used a variation of the Delphi method to reflect first on the ways that the body of work of Jackson resonated with their practice and research agendas. This produced a framework of ideas. Examples from the UK and overseas are then provided to illustrate these points. Ultimately, the researchers used these experiences and reflections to produce a series of statements for developing Community OR practice (and theory)—reflecting and extending Jackson's work.
