[CCoE Notice] March 24: NSM Faculty Development Workshop

[Grayson, Audrey A]

Dear Faculty:

The next NSM Faculty Development Workshop is scheduled for Friday, March 24, from 11:30 am – 12:45 pm in Science Teaching Laboratories, Room 108E.  Lunch will be provided; please RSVP using the link below.  A flyer is attached.


Topic: “Active Learning Methods for the Classroom”

Presenters:
Dr. Lindsay Schwarz and Shari Mauthner
College of Pharmacy, University of Houston

What is Active Learning? “Anything that involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing." (Bonwell & Eison, 1991, p. 2). Felder & Brent (2009) define active learning as "anything course-related that all students in a class session are called upon to do, other than simply watching, listening and taking notes" (p. 2). Research suggests that students lose attention in lecture after 10-20 minutes. Active Learning, by introducing the elements of practice and higher order thinking, reinforces concepts and skills, while accommodating other learning styles. We will discuss how much time in a typical class could be devoted to active learning, how to incorporate active learning in your class, venues for active learning (large vs small classroom settings) and engage the audience in some active learning exercises we have successfully used in our classes in the College of Pharmacy.
