Work with OFE Faculty Leader Patricia Virella on invigorating your teaching and students’ engagement through specific practices that ensure 主动学习.
掌握主动学习教学的必要性
Today more than ever faculty are finding it challenging to engage students in the intellectual enterprise. Practices that worked well in the past – the Socratic method, 吸引人的内容, 短期作业——今天似乎不太管用. 教职工报告说, 虽然有些学生非常投入, a significant portion of students who are diligent in their class attendance appear to struggle with engagement, 暗示他们在，但没有在学习.
显然是大流行, 它的长尾巴, learning loss and the “development of ineffective learning habits in relaxed circumstances” (Kinzie, 2013), and now Generative AI have encouraged passivity in many students. 更重要的是, both faculty and student surveys suggest that students are under-engaged, and many are not taking on key activities essential to engaged, 主动学习.
的 2021年的较量 (National Survey of Student Engagement) report indicates that Montclair students can be much better engaged in their learning. Specific areas where we believe Montclair students can do better, as evidenced by the NSSE, include:
- 4b: Applying facts, theories, or methods to practical problems or new situations
- 9a:从阅读作业中识别关键信息
- 9b:课后复习笔记
- 9c: Summarized what you learned in class or from course materials
- 2a: Combined ideas from different courses when completing assignments
- 2d: Examined the strengths and weaknesses of our own voices on a topic or issue
- 2g: Connecting ideas from your courses to your prior experiences and knowledge
加入OFE和Patricia Virella为我们的 Fostering Intellectual Engagement through Active Learning (FIEAL) series to develop and improve strategies for guiding students in 主动学习 toward intellectual engagement.
