Description
Amid massive changes in teaching, one thing that remains constant is that we want students to really learn, not simply memorize to pass a test and then forget everything. We want our students to be successful in their studying rather than wasting time rereading highlighted text with glazed over eyes. Despite these ambitions, teachers often use ineffective techniques and students lack the metacognitive strategies needed to enable learning. The presenters of this session will highlight evidence-based techniques found in the book "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" by Peter C. Brown. They will also share personal experiences from their courses with what has worked, what hasn't, and how they will incorporate the lessons learned. These evidence-based techniques can help transform your teaching to allow your students to go from short-term memorization to long-term mastery of concepts. Simple teaching strategies will be practiced during the session that you can implement into your courses immediately.
