Key Statement:
Educators can promote the development of master adaptive learners, prepared to address societal issues, through intentional experiential learning activities centered on adult learning theories.
Keywords:
Experiential Learning, Master Adaptive Learner, Learning Theories
Abstract:
Graduates of any field need to be prepared to solve complex and unique problems to address societal needs. Adaptive expertise is the ability to solve familiar and unfamiliar problems with flexibility, creativity, and innovation. Educators need to be prepared to develop master adaptive learners, individuals who have developed adaptive expertise. Through intentional incorporation of experiential learning activities throughout curricula, centered on adult learning principles and nested in adult learning theory, educators can promote the development of master adaptive learners. This presentation will outline components of experiential learning activities that can help create master adaptive learners.

TRANSCRIPT:
Creating master adaptive learners through experiential learning. Graduates of any field need to be
prepared to solve complex and unique problems to address societal needs. Adaptive expertise is the
ability to solve familiar and unfamiliar problems with flexibility, creativity, and innovation. Educators
need to be prepared to develop master adaptive learners, individuals who have developed adaptive
expertise. Through intentional incorporation of experiential learning activities throughout curricula,
centered on adult learning principles and nested in adult learning theory, educators can promote the
development of master adaptive learners. This presentation will outline components of experiential
learning activities that can help create master adaptive learners.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1- Describe experimental and hands-on teaching in computer architecture
2- Explain the benefits of hands-on learning for a complex topic such as computer architecture.
3- Assess student success and summarize student attitudes and outcomes related to concept-understanding, self-learning, retention and teamwork.
