BOF: Using the Science of Learning to Help Faculty Help Students Learn More Effectively
November 16, 2020Scholarship on the science of learning focuses on empirical research, theoretical implications, and practical applications related to how people learn and remember, particularly in the classroom. In these BoF sessions, led by educational developers with backgrounds in cognitive psychology, we will first consider what we currently know about the learning literature, including learning myths that permeate the academy, in order to help frame participants' perspectives as they attend POD sessions. In the final session, we will reconvene to share resources and discuss how we might be able to apply the science of learning to concepts encountered during the conference.
