This podcast episode from "Balancing the Shift" features Dr. Lisa Jacka and Dr. Julie Lindsay discussing the joy of learning, particularly through experiential and hands-on approaches. They highlight the Reggio Emilia pedagogical approach, often applied to young children, which champions learning by doing, students as researchers, and the pedagogy of listening. The hosts advocate for extending these principles beyond early childhood, contrasting them with the more traditional, assessment-driven methods often found in higher education. Ultimately, they emphasise the importance of empowering students to become content creators and find their own joy in learning, even exploring new technologies like AI to foster this active, problem-solving engagement.
