Event Description
Understanding how students learn is an important part of being an effective instructor. In this workshop, participants will examine how to translate three principles from learning sciences to their teaching: 1) testing effect —deliberately retrieving information from memory, 2) conceptual change — identifying and reconstructing one’s conceptions, and 3) scaffolding —incrementally removing supports to build skills. We will consider ways to apply these principles to designing the structure of a course, implementing in-class activities, and creating homework assignments.
