Recenzii
"So great to see James Barber providing practical ideas that educators can use to help students connect what they have learned in one context to its application in new contexts. Bridging the much talked about 'skills gap' may be more about having learners understand how to use what they already know and can do in new ways, than it is about actually learning 'missing' skills. Anything that helps people integrate learning across contexts is a bonus for educators, students and employers!"

"Facilitating the Integration of Learning provides invaluable information for educators. Barber adeptly uses findings from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education to illuminate practices that support students' abilities to integrate of learning in a multitude of contexts. Rather than dictating how to engage in these practices, Barber provides readers with the tools to reflect upon, design, and assess educational experiences that promote integration of learning. It is a must read for college educators."

“Integrative learning could be one of the most promising hallmarks of a quality higher education as we prepare students to address complex and novel challenges in society. By calling out the false borders that currently limit curricular approaches, Barber has issued a call to action for the entire campus community to embrace their role in facilitating student learning. College educators will appreciate the practical model of integrative learning, and will benefit from having the tools they need to break down borders and help students bring together what they know and can do, regardless where the learning happened.”

"James Barber’s Facilitating the Integration of Learning: Five Research-based Practices to Help College Students Connect Learning across Disciplines and Lived Experiences is one of the few books that delivers more than its title promises. The middle section of the book, chapters 4-8, does what the title describes: it offers five practices educators can implement to help college students integrate their learning. However, the book goes beyond that in two ways. First, Barber adds an informative and in-depth discussion of integrative learning in the first section of the book. Second, he examines ways to assure that integrative learning is a central feature of the student experience, considering both how to create an integrative curriculum and how to document and assess integrative learning as part of a broader effort of iterative improvement.
In summary, Barber’s book provides a wonderful opening into a robust consideration of how individual faculty and other educators can facilitate students’ integration of their learning. The book balances solid foundational considerations with practical tips and tools that are easy to implement."
