The introduction of the model of Flow-based pedagogy

Summary/Abstract: Today, one of the most important tasks of higher education is to develop students’ competencies that can be effectively utilized in the labour market. The alignment be¬tween higher education and the labour market deserves special attention, which is mostly justified by the fact that new positions appear in the labour market (e.g. digital police officer). Students are expected to be alert, independent and creative. This expectation is reinforced by the Flow-based pedagogical model, in which the author incorporates creativity, playfulness or even humour. Students thrive in an educational environment where they are challenged to think, solve problems, and collaborate. One of the purposes of the experiential education is to immerse students into the flow channel and merge with the experience. The classroom research was conducted in study and control groups of English classes for Law Enforcement (2021/2022). In this research, we examine the effect of teaching with ICT tools (Augmented Reality - AR; HY-DE model) on students’ Flow State (Flow State Questionnaire) and the devel¬opment of their vocabulary knowledge (pre & post-tests) along with the introduction of the Flow-based pedagogical model. We assume that the students in ICT-based classes achieve a higher flow state than those who are supported by traditional teach¬ing methods. According to the results, the students in the study groups experienced a deep flow state (over 80%) due to the ICT-supported lessons, providing challenges and experiences for them.
