Active Learning: Why & How?

Teaching Metaphors

Alignment with Teaching Goals? Teaching Goals Inventory Higher order thinking is rated as the most important goal at 4-year colleges

Today’s Students Vision of Students Today

Active Learning Analysis Synthesis Evaluation ENGAGEMENT Active response engages areas related to memory and attention

WHY? Selective Attention

Attention Requires Mental Effort! Attention Capacity: minutes Did you ever fall asleep in a class? MUST grab attention back

Pair-Share Good: Pause at least 3 times for 2 minutes Better: Pause and let students compare notes every 20 minutes

Simple Techniques 1 (or 2) minute papers i.e., “What is one take-away message for today’s class?” Muddiest point Make sure you come back next class to answer questions. In-class question Create question and answer question

Active Listening Technique After Student A answers a question, ask Student B to summarize the response of Student A.

Panel Discussions Assign a topic Pair with the in-class question

Student Debates Allows students to take a position and support it with logic/data BUT why not make it more interesting?
