Students come to universities with widely varying academic skills, learning styles and motivation levels. Faculty often lament that students are focused on achieving high grades, but are not willing to invest much time or effort in learning. This session will focus on the importance of helping students determine their individual learning styles, and on simple, yet effective learning strategies based on cognitive science principles. We will engage in individual and small group activities that will allow participants to experience strategies that significantly improve student learning while transforming attitudes about the meaning of learning.
The workshop will include such topics as:
Characteristics of the millennial studentBasic cognitive science principles that apply to student learningLearning strategies that workThe impact of learning styles on student learningIncreasing student motivation for learningResources ...

University faculty are constantly striving to improve the critical thinking ability of students. However, there are varying views of what critical thinking entails, and faculty are sometimes at a loss to teach students just how to think critically. This session will examine the meaning of critical thinking and explore strategies to develop students who are motivated to engage in critical thinking. The Six Thinking Hats methodology of Edward DeBono will be presented as a means of helping students realize that there are different types of thinking that comprise the overall thought process.
The workshop will include the following topics:
Working definition of critical thinkingPrerequisites for critical thinkingThe Six Thinking Hats Methodology to improve critical thinkingUse of the thinking hats method to solve a problem facing EIU (exact problem to be determined by group)Please register here.
