honors 102 - notes illusion of knowledge The illusion of knowledge is de ned as a cognitive bias where an individual believes they are more intelligent and capable than they actually are. This overconfidence can lead to misjudgements, poor decisions and resistance to learning new information as individuals may fail to recognize the limitations of their understanding. This phenomenon is mainly due to: 1. overestimation of individual skills 2. failure to recognize the skill/experience of others 3. failure to realize subjectve errors To overcome the phenomenon: 1. learning and practicing continuously 2. ask others to assess your performance 3. assess yourself on what you know and need to know learning communities - A specific group of students who live and/or work in close quarters and are heavily involved in campus and/or residential-focused activities with strong integration of academic, social, and/or service activities - programs that involve a culture of thinking, growth and inquiry within the living environment - outcomes include members bonding together in pursuit of common goals through interdependence and mutual commitment; respectful inclusion of economic, religious, cultural, racial, social and other differences; and shared inquiry in which members collaborate to find solutions to common problems scienti c research scienti c research is de ned as an organized method of studyig various problems with the aim of developing appropriate solutions to them the goals of scientific research stem from science itself, which aims to understand, predict and control phenomena historical research: it aims to study phenomena that began in the past and ended in the past as well, it helps understanding research in the present descriptive research: it aims to study phenomena that began in the past and whose impact is still present in the future, the role of the researcher is limited to describing only the present phenomena 7 types of descriptive research: 1. surveys - aim to detect the prevalence of a phenomenon in a group of individuals 2. correlational - aim to reveal the relationship between two or more variables fi fi fi fi 3. retrospective - aims to detect the effect of a variable or a set of independent variable on a dependent variable with the aim of reveal the difference in the dependent variable 4. work analysis - aims to provide descriptions of different professions and works for the purpose of professional and academic guidance 5. content analysis - aims to verify the extent to which a particular document, book or curriculum meets a set of criteria 6. evolutionary - aims to detect changes that occur in an individual across a certain age stage as a result of growth 7. case study - aims to analyze a specific problem in an individual or group of individuals who share a specific problem in order to provide a comprehensive description of this problem, its causes and solutions and is usually done through a research team experimental research: relate to the study of phenomena that begin in the present to observe an effect in the future, it aims to reveal the causal relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable hypothesis is de ned as a clever guess by a researcher, or a temporary solution to a validated problem hypothesis is written in news format, they are tested types of hypotheses: 1. hypotheses of correlation coefficients in correlational studies 2. hypotheses for differences in arithmetic averages in causal studies 3. hypotheses for prediction in predictive studies themes of excellence: digital enrichment: - digitally enriched education is one of the five themes in the Education Excellence Framework, focusing on integrating technology into teaching to enhance learning - it combines digital resources and includes strategies like multimedia integration, flipped classrooms, and online courses to create active learning environments - it emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving and productivity entrepreneurial enrichment: - entrepreneurial education, another part of the Education Excellence Framework, aims to develop entrepreneurial attitudes, skills and knowledge enabling students to turn ideas into action - Center for Entrepreneurship (CFE) was established in 2013 to support entrepreneurship commmunity, it offers seminars, constests, workshops and a Minor in entrepreneurship - Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) provides resources, workshops and mentoring for entrepreneurial education - Champions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) includes college-specific experts promoting entrepreneurial initiatives experiential education: fi  - it aims to promote active, community-based, integrative and inquiry based learning - shifts focus from teacher-centered content delivery to learner-centered experiences - prioritizes depth of learning over quantity of content and allows time for exploration, interaction and independent projects - emphasizes hands-on activities and real-world applications over rigid routines - based on kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) as a process that includes concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation - applications of experiential education: active learning, community-based learning, integrative learning and inquiry-based learning learner-centric education: - focuses on placing learners at the center of the educational process to foster active engagement, critical thinking and collaboration - shifts focus from the instructor to the students and encourages active learning through problem-solving, teamwork and collaboration - rooted in constructivism which emphasizes that knowledge is actively constructed, learning is a social and personal process through experience and it encourages exploration, hypothesis testing and conclusion-making - bloom’s taxonomy framework for setting educational goals in six stages: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating - implementation: problem-based learning, case studies, just-in-time-teaching and flipped classrooms research-informed education: - it aims to integrate research into teaching, emphasizing inquiry and critical thinking - bene ts: enhances problem-solving, creative thinking and real-world application skills, prepares for graduate school, improves communication and builds networks - also based on constructivism so students learn to develop and defend their positions - fung’s framework: connecting students to researchers, promoting interdisciplinary learning, engaging external audiences, linking academic knowledge to careers, encouraging outputs for audiences, fostering peer and alumni connections - healey and jenkins approaches: research-led, research-oriented and research-based fi
