Learning Activities

This case study reports on two teachers’ appropriation of the teaching activity Values clustering for developing students' value vocabularies. It provides insights into how this particular teaching activity can be appropriated in different educational settings, what the teachers' perceived effectiveness of this activity is, and what kind of adaptations individual teachers may need to make to fit them into their particular course.

The case study serves as an example for how discussions and actions around values in design can be framed and implemented in the classroom. It also serves as an example of how a teaching activity can be appropriated to various contexts, but without losing its essence in terms of the learning goals the activity strives to fulfill.
