Learning process 2 0
The document discusses a new learning process called Learning Process 2.0 being implemented at Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The goals of Learning Process 2.0 are to create real-life learning environments, strongly connect theory and practice, allow students to specialize in their own fields and learn from each other, minimize structured learning, and shift the teacher role to a guiding one. Observations found students took ownership of their learning, helped each other, learned at their own pace, were more motivated with responsibility, advanced faster, and maintained connections to the university. The process changes the traditional model to one where students gain more credits faster and teachers' efficiency increases, while motivating students to set higher goals and improving post-graduation employment

- 2. Goals • To create a possibility to learn in real-life environment • To make a strong connection between theory and action • To enable students to specialize in their own fields and learn from each other • Minimizing the structures of learning • To move the responsibility of action towards students and to develop the role of teacher towards a guide Laurea University of Applied Sciences / 1/10/2013 2 Kortelainen & Kyttä
- 3. Observations • Students will find their own field of expertise • Students have a desire to help other students in their own field of expertise • Not everyone will learn the same things => personal learning path • Students are more motivated if they have responsibility of their own actions • Students will advance in their studies much faster • Students are more interested in continuing their education further • Students have an active communicative relationship to their university after graduation (it is more than a place where they studied) Laurea University of Applied Sciences / 1/10/2013 3 Kortelainen & Kyttä

- 8. Results • Compared to the same university’s more traditional model of action, Business Lab students gain 30-70% more study credits in the same time frame • The efficiency of the teacher is increased in great amount • Students are motivated to set their goals higher • The level of employment after graduation is better • The model is not for everyone, some students never get motivated to act no matter what the model of action is Laurea University of Applied Sciences / 1/10/2013 8 Kortelainen & Kyttä
