Chapter 16: Exemplification learning in the classroom

Abstract

Chapter 16, titled “Exemplification Learning in the Classroom”, explores the potential of exemplification learning as an interactive, hands-on approach in higher education and training. It highlights the theoretical foundations and empirical evidence supporting this method, emphasising its practical applications and future directions. The chapter discusses benefits such as enhanced engagement and deeper understanding, alongside limitations like time constraints, restricted perspectives, and other contextual challenges. It also addresses the opportunities and obstacles to implementing exemplification learning, using case studies from the economic and management sciences and the natural sciences educational settings. Finally, the chapter underscores the importance of tangible examples in learning and provides reflective questions for practice to optimise this approach in higher education and training.
