]]> Annie Smith Changing Paradigms in Online Education: Perceptions and Experiences of Nontraditional Adult Learners in the Emergency Services http://works.bepress.com/dr_r_jeffery_maxfield/7 http://works.bepress.com/dr_r_jeffery_maxfield/7 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:06:39 PST Planning for the unknown incident or emergency event makes the task of college and university educators not only interesting, but also extremely challenging. Max van Manen (1990) argued that the prescribed method for human science, in contrast to natural science involved description, interpretations, and self-reflective or critical analysis. In other words, we explain nature, but we must understand human life. This assertion seems to suggest learning strategies that expand beyond traditional pedagogies. The experience of nontraditional, emergency services students, in an asynchronous online environment appeared to be filled with comparison and contrast. While using prior experience and learning schemas, the students entered into the online experience seeking to find a similar experience from their past. However, they seemed to immediately recognize the need to shift how they viewed the course.
