Workshop: Student Engagement

Recent research on motivation makes it clear that for students to be successful, they have to value learning, they have to expect to succeed, and they have to be active participants in their own learning. In this workshop with Dr. Claire Major, participants will explore the practical impact of this research. Beginning with information about specific cognitive principles of learning, attendees will then consider specific teaching techniques that can be used in any context to motivate students to participate in the learning process.
