Teaching STEM: Implementing Active Learning √

How do we make our STEM classes inclusive and effective for our diverse students today? Join your colleagues for a discussion of evidence-based teaching practices that help support all students as learners. For example, active learning practices are known to promote learning and close opportunity gaps among groups of students. But knowing how to best implement active learning for student success can be tricky. In this session, we will draw on ideas in the following papers as a starting point for our conversation:

• Instructor strategies to aid implementation of active learning: a systematic literature review. International Journal of STEM Education, 8(1), 1-18, 2021. Feel free to scan down to the Strategies section pages 8-18.
• Integrating active learning activities and metacognition into STEM writing courses. Advances in Physiology Education, 45(4), 902-907, 2021.
