Summary
This study explores virtual professional immersive experiences (PIEx) as a new model for work-integrated learning. It found that liminality and third space concepts enhance collaborative knowledge creation beyond traditional university settings.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Sociology
- Organizational Studies
Background:
- COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional work-integrated learning (WIL).
- Need for innovative educational models to maintain experiential learning opportunities.
- Transdisciplinarity offers a framework for extending interdisciplinary educational work.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine professional immersive experiences (PIEx) as a response to pandemic-induced WIL disruptions.
- To apply concepts of liminality and third space to understand PIEx.
- To explore the potential of PIEx for future work-integrated learning.
Main Methods:
- Participatory reflexive methodology was employed.
- Analysis focused on the manifestation of liminality within PIEx.
- Concepts of liminal learning, third space, and transdisciplinarity were used as analytical lenses.
Main Results:
- Virtual environments facilitated liminal learning, connecting diverse spaces, locations, and people.
- The PIEx model fostered a 'third space' characterized by fluid roles and co-creation of knowledge among educators, students, and industry partners.
- Transdisciplinarity provided a lens for understanding boundary-crossing interactions within PIEx.
Conclusions:
- PIEx offers a viable and adaptable model for work-integrated learning.
- Future WIL can transcend physical university boundaries through immersive, transdisciplinary experiences.
- Liminality and third space concepts are crucial for understanding and designing effective virtual experiential learning.

Cultural frameworks for understanding the self are often categorized into two broad orientations: individualism and collectivism. These paradigms influence how people define themselves, relate to others, and interpret their social worlds. Each orientation offers distinct perspectives on autonomy, responsibility, and the role of the individual within a community.Individualistic CulturesIn individualistic cultures like North America and Western Europe, identity is understood as autonomous and...

Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...
