What Active Learning and Authentic Assessment in Higher Education Can Do for the World
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025)
;
Vilalta-Perdomo, Eliseo
This chapter examines how active learning and authentic assessment can impact learners, society and the world. It advocates for extending traditional classroom pedagogies to real-world experiences, where students can become knowledge producers and problem solvers. In today's higher education, it is essential to equip students with skills to address contemporary challenges. Active learning fosters reflective and practical growth, while authentic assessment encourages engagement with realistic issues, self-directed learning and critical thinking. By placing students in real-world scenarios, these approaches enhance their learning outcome development and foster meaningful contributions to communities and society. This is a shift in learning from classroom spaces to real-world environments. Accordingly, this type of learning supports novel productive interactions for societal impact and community support beyond traditional academic mechanisms. This chapter discusses these concepts in light of the ideas presented in this book in previous sections. Overall, the different uses and applications of active learning for authentic assessment illustrate the link of active pedagogies with realistic learning scenarios and the production of a positive impact on learners and society. Future work could explore the long-term possibilities of these approaches on society and communities, investigating how these could be adapted across disciplines or scaled to larger educational contexts. ©The authors ©Emerald Publishing Limited.

Montesinos, Luis
Purpose: This article investigates the application of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in experiential learning for authentic assessment in higher education. Recognized for its human-like content generation, GenAI has garnered widespread interest, raising concerns regarding its reliability, ethical considerations and overall impact. The purpose of this study is to explore the transformative capabilities and limitations of GenAI for experiential learning. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses “thing ethnography” and “incremental prompting” to delve into the perspectives of ChatGPT 3.5, a prominent GenAI model. Through semi-structured interviews, the research prompts ChatGPT 3.5 on critical aspects such as conceptual clarity, integration of GenAI in educational settings and practical applications within the context of authentic assessment. The design examines GenAI’s potential contributions to reflective thinking, hands-on learning and genuine assessments, emphasizing the importance of responsible use. Findings: The findings underscore GenAI’s potential to enhance experiential learning in higher education. Specifically, the research highlights GenAI’s capacity to contribute to reflective thinking, hands-on learning experiences and the facilitation of genuine assessments. Notably, the study emphasizes the significance of responsible use in harnessing the capabilities of GenAI for educational purposes. Originality/value: This research showcases the application of GenAI in operations management education, specifically within lean health care. The study offers insights into its capabilities by exploring the practical implications of GenAI in a specific educational domain through thing ethnography and incremental prompting. Additionally, the article proposes future research directions, contributing to the originality of the work and opening avenues for further exploration in the integration of GenAI in education. ©The authors, Emerald Group Publishing.

Experiential Learning for Circular Operations Management in Higher Education
(MDPI, 2024)
;
;
González de la Cruz, José Rubén
;
Vilalta-Perdomo, Eliseo
This research-to-practice article delves into novel learning experiences for operations management education, involving the circular economy and experiential learning. Higher Education academics are required to develop effective learning that actively and impactfully helps nurture in students the essential competency to face sustainable development demands. In operations management education, one possibility is to integrate real-world circular economy challenges into learning activities that address issues concerning solid waste generation in business processes and operations. This type of innovative learning experience involves both conceptual understanding and practical implementation. Accordingly, experiential learning is considered a suitable pedagogy for this purpose in this work because of its hands-on applications, critical thinking, and active engagement. To illustrate this proposition, this paper presents a case study concerning an operations management undergraduate course at a Mexican university. The case study indicates how to translate a situation of solid waste generation in a business into relevant disciplinary experiential learning. The results show that students regarded the learning experience as motivating, interesting, and relevant while widely accomplishing their learning objectives. However, limitations did exist regarding experiential learning, the methodological approach, data collection, and implementation challenges. Future work points to the need for further learning experiences and to improve research reliability, transferability, and validity. ©2024 MDPI (Basel, Switzerland) unless otherwise stated.
