While many school districts and institutions of higher education
still cling to the traditional agrarian school year with a factory
model delivery of education and Carnegie units based on seat time
when most people are no longer farmers, factory workers, or reliant
on learning in a classroom, there are bursts of promising practices
that buck the norm by questioning the educational value of these
traditions. Though researchers have investigated the potential of
students learning in their own homes via personalized instruction
delivered by computers rather than attending traditional
institutions, the status quo in education has remained stubbornly
resistant to change. Mixed-reality simulations, year-round
schooling, grouping students by competencies instead of age, and
game-based teaching are just a few of the educational innovations
that seek to maximize learning by recognizing that innovation is
essential for successfully teaching students in the modern era. The
Handbook of Research on Innovations in Non-Traditional Educational
Practices is a comprehensive reference source that examines various
educational innovations, how they have developed workarounds to
navigate traditional systems, and their potential to radically
transform teaching and learning. With each chapter highlighting a
different educational innovation such as experiential learning,
game-based learning, online learning, and inquiry-based learning
and their applications in all levels of education, this book
explores the issues and challenges these educational innovations
face as well as their impact. It is intended for academicians,
professionals, administrators, and researchers in education and
specifically benefits academic deans, vice presidents of academic
affairs, graduate students, faculty technology leaders, directors
of teaching and learning centers, curriculum and instructional
designers, policymakers, principals and superintendents, and
teachers interested in educational change.
