Co-Learning in Higher Education : Community Wellbeing, Engaged Scholarship, and Creating Futures
Co-Learning in Higher Education addresses topics critical to the future of higher education: the wellbeing of communities, engagement of scholars supporting new generations of social activists, and the renewal and expansion of educational and career pathways.It develops a theory of co-learning that engages students and professors across generations in partnerships with community organizations, schools, and corporations that solve emerging social and environmental challenges.Collaboratively written cases discuss community projects, engaging pedagogies, and action research projects.These co-cases demonstrate the power of using critical pedagogies and social action within troubling contexts, rather than assuming public policy changes are the only solution.Contributors explore mentoring, discuss pedagogies that promote community wellbeing and equity, address the urgency of change in universities, and reflect on the implications of this chaotic period for empowering social agency among youth in rising generations.This is a timely volume for scholars and students in higher education and educational policy.

What is non-participatory observation? What is deliberate observation? What is unintentional observation?
Non-participatory observation is when the observer remains separate from the group being observed and does not interact with them. This type of observation allows the observer to remain objective and not influence the behavior of the group. Deliberate observation is when the observer intentionally focuses on specific behaviors or aspects of the group being observed. This type of observation is often used in research to gather specific data or insights. Unintentional observation is when the observer passively notices and absorbs information about a group or situation without intentionally focusing on specific aspects. This type of observation can occur in everyday life, such as when someone casually observes the behavior of people in a public setting.
-
Is it "during my observation day," "during my observation day," or "during my observation day"?
The correct phrase is "during my observation day." This phrase indicates that the action or event is happening at some point in time while you are observing. The use of "during" shows the relationship between the observation day and the action taking place.
-
What are examples of covert observation and overt observation?
Covert observation involves observing individuals or groups without their knowledge, such as secretly watching people in a public place or using hidden cameras to monitor behavior. Overt observation, on the other hand, involves openly observing individuals or groups with their knowledge and consent, such as conducting interviews or participating in group activities as a researcher. An example of covert observation could be a researcher secretly watching how people interact in a coffee shop, while an example of overt observation could be a researcher openly observing a classroom setting and taking notes on student behavior.

What distinguishes systematic observation from participant observation in field research?
Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and planned collection of data through direct observation of a specific phenomenon, often using predetermined categories or criteria. On the other hand, participant observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities and interactions of the group being observed. While systematic observation allows for a more objective and standardized approach to data collection, participant observation provides a deeper understanding of the social context and dynamics by experiencing it firsthand. Ultimately, the main distinction lies in the level of involvement and interaction between the researcher and the subjects of the study.

What distinguishes systematic observation from participatory observation in field research?
Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and predetermined collection of data based on specific variables or behaviors of interest. Researchers use predefined criteria to guide their observations and ensure consistency in data collection. On the other hand, participatory observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities of the group being observed. This approach allows the researcher to gain a deeper understanding of the context and culture of the group, but may be more subjective and less structured compared to systematic observation.
