ASHS 2024 Conference

Learning objectives are put into place to measure student conceptualization in classroom activities. However, how effective are these learning outcomes in individualized student activities? Our research will explore how well students expressed learning concepts through in-class floral design construction. The target group is the students in HS 275 Floral Design. To study student understanding, we analyzed each week’s learning objectives by evaluating each student's submitted floral design project photograph. This was done through analyzing our review comments and student reflections of their final project. We will discuss the results of our study about applying teaching strategies that promote conceptualization that can potentially be applied broadly in higher education courses.
