However, while verbalizing thoughts can help students learn, students in this study felt that frequency of contributions was often rewarded over quality. They called this\"verbal diarrhea\" and explained how prominent it was in their university learning experiences. In this Active Learning Classroom (ALC) study, students noticed \"verbal diarrhea\" was significantly reduced, making their learning more authentic. This paper presents\"prescriptions\" for verbal diarrhea; these may be useful for instructors using both ALCs and traditional teaching and learning spaces.  \nDans leurs cours, les enseignants comptent souvent sur la participation des étudiants pour accroître le niveau d'interaction et d'apprentissage en classe. Toutefois, bien que le faitd'exprimer sa pensée puisse aider l'étudiant à apprendre, lessujets-étudiants de cette étude ont dit avoir le sentiment que l'on accordait davantage devaleur à la fréquence des contributions qu'à leur qualité. Ils ont employé l'expression de \" diarrhée verbale \" et ont expliqué la place prépondérante que ce phénomène occupe dans leur expérience d'apprentissage universitaire. Dans cette étude d'une classe d'apprentissage actif, les étudiantsont noté qu'ily avait beaucoup moins de \" diarrhée verbale \". En conséquence, leur expérience d'apprentissage était plus authentique. Cet article suggère des \" remèdes \" contre la diarrhée verbale, remèdes que lesenseignants peuvent utiliser dans les classes d'apprentissage actif, dans l'enseignement traditionnel ou dans les espaces d'apprentissage..  \nEmployers look for people with university  \ndegrees, but why aren't they preparing us for the workplace?\" one frustrated student expressed in the study. With higher education viewed as a \"gateway\" to the professional workplace (Rubenson, 2010), this student's disappointment with her learning experience is understandable. With lecture after lecture, students like this one expressed in this study how often they had to seek out part time jobs or part take in extra-curricular activities in order to gain experiences seen as \"more useful. \" But why  \nwere classes not viewed in the same way by students? Many instructors would argue they were providing learning environments that prepare students for the workplace but maybe the teaching and learning strategies need to be re-examined from the students'perspectives.  \nWith the paradigm of student-centred teaching and learning trending across universities and colleges, it is important to reflect on the common practices used and hear from students on their perspectives and experiences with the teaching  \napproaches. This study focused on upper year students' learning, with the students reflecting on their lived experiences in the newly popular Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) (Beichner, 2014; Cotner, Loper, Walker, & Brooks, 2013), and comparing them to their undergraduate experience in general. More specifically, the study used the framework of Authentic Learning (Herrington, Reeves, & Oliver, 2014) to examine how students'learning in ALCs was more authentic to experiences in the real world and would prepare them for future employment over traditional spaces like lecture hallsand seminar rooms. One of the dominant themes that emerged was how instead of engaging in rich discussions getting students to participate in class often triggered students to produce endless \"verbal diarrhea\" which students hated and found unrealistic to real-world settings. However, students found that being in the ALCs helped to combat and avoid this unfortunate outcome. This paper presents case studies of students' lived experiences in their undergraduate degree, and their \"prescriptions\" and recommendations to instructors and other students on avoiding verbal diarrhea and encouraging meaningful d","cbCaidMLCdEEXCU4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidMLCdEEXCU4","pdf",855815,"English","# Introduction\n## Verbal diarrhea and learning quality\n## Student-centered teaching and authentic learning\n## Study context and Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs)\n## Classroom design and learning interaction","[{\"question\":\"What do students mean by “verbal diarrhea”?\",\"answer\":\"Students describe “verbal diarrhea” as endless talk that emerges when class participation is triggered, and they find it unrealistic compared with real-world settings.\"},{\"question\":\"How do Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) affect students’ learning experiences?\",\"answer\":\"Students report that in ALCs, verbal diarrhea is significantly reduced, making their discussions and learning experience more authentic.\"},{\"question\":\"What framework does the study use to evaluate learning in ALCs?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses the framework of Authentic Learning to examine whether ALC learning better reflects real-world experiences and supports future employment compared with traditional lecture spaces.\"}]","Please Stop Blabbing - A Prescription for Verbal Diarrhea | PDF",1792088000]
