Learning Journey Highlights

Core to STEMS² pedagogy is the engagement in and practice of “Learning Journeys”. Learning Journeys are shared experiences with a person, group, project or place that can take the form of a tour, discussion or service-learning project (O’Neill et al., 2016). Different from the idea of a field trip, which primarily represent singular learning experiences with unidirectional knowledge sharing, learning journeys are designed engage participants in experiential, ao [reciprocal learning where in all moments one is the teacher and the learner] based learning experiences that build long term relationships with the people and places where these experiences are shared.
