Description
In this session, we’ll analyze how to engage students by crafting authentic academic research. How can we cultivate curiosity, counter students’ misconceptions about research, and guide them to create and respond to research questions? We’ll use the revised and updated edition of Engaging Ideas: The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom (3rd Ed.) by John C. Bean and Dan Melzer (2021) to help you use backward design to construct an effective model for cultivating undergraduate research skills.
Participants may access the ebook online at any time through the AOK
library in advance of the session using the following step-by-step
instructions:
