Overview
Active learning benefits all students. Research studies have shown that students in lecture-dominated courses are 1.5 times more likely to fail than students in classes using active learning. Furthermore, active learning can drive the performance gains of historically underserved students, particularly in large-enrollment courses characterized by high achievement gaps. In this online workshop, we will explore some of the literature demonstrating the benefits of this student engagement strategy and then work through examples of evidence-based teaching techniques you and your TAs may readily implement in your classroom to create a more inclusive and engaged learning environment.
After participating in this online workshop, you will be able to:
- Recall the evidence from education research that supports the benefits of active learning
- Implement teaching strategies that increase student engagement, feedback, and learning
- Plan how to incorporate at least one active learning practice into your teaching
Workshop materials include slides and handouts provided during the workshop. Please note that you must be logged into your UIC Google account to access these materials.
