An increasing number of studies indicate the effectiveness of active learning on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Active learning is defined as engaging students in the process of learning through activities and/or discussion in class, as opposed to passively listening to an expert. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work. In this seminar we will discuss different active learning strategies that can be put into practice in everyday classes.
Teaching methods have evolved throughout last decades. In order to learn the different possibilities that Innovative Teaching offers, this seminar will explore how each field can provide ideas that can be applied in other areas. In this way, both participants and assistants will improve their knowledge concerning to how to teach and how to create a better environment in the class, in which students play a more dynamic role. These activities will be held mainly by predoc and postdoc fellows of RCC.
