Students' ability to integrate learning across contexts is a
critical outcome for higher education. Often the most powerful
learning experiences that students report from their college years
are those that prompt integration of learning, yet it remains an
outcome that few educators explicitly work towards or specify as a
course objective. Given that students will be more successful in
college (and in life) if they can integrate their learning, James
Barber offers a guide for college educators on how to promote
students' integration of learning, and help them connect knowledge
and insights across contexts, whether in-class or out-of-class, in
co-curricular activities, or across courses and disciplinary
boundaries. This book is addressed to a wide range of educators
engaged with college student learning, from faculty to student
affairs administrators, athletic coaches, internship supervisors,
or anyone concerned with student development. The opening chapters
lay the foundation for the book, defining what integration of
learning is, how to promote it and students' capacities for
reflection; and introduce the author's research-based Integration
of Learning (IOL) model. The second section of the book provides
practical, real-world strategies for facilitating integration of
learning that college educators can use right away in multiple
learning contexts. James Barber describes practices that readers
can integrate as appropriate in their classes or activities, under
chapters respectively devoted to Mentoring, Writing as Praxis,
Juxtaposition, Hands-On Experiences, and Diversity and Identity.
The author concludes by outlining how to apply IOL to a
multiplicity of settings, such as a major, a single course,
programming for a student organization, or other co-curricular
experience; as well as offering guidance on assessing and
documenting students' mastery of this outcome.
