Inspiring student insights for change.
Abstract
Contemporary change has challenged educators to construct methods that develop knowledge for the times. This classroom action research case study investigated an innovative strategy created to inspire student insights on the realities of a change-based environment. The strategy created a context of contemporary change in the classroom by structuring a written assignment to mimic a characteristic of complexity theory. The implications of this approach provided a new strategy for higher education instructors to create assignments that actively construct knowledge about the real-world environment of change.
