Focus on Student-centered Learning • Learning versus teaching • Engage learners as full partners, who assume responsibility • Create and offer diversity in learning options • Promote collaborative learning
Theory of Learning • Develop knowledge, skills and attitudes required to learn competencies • Encourage • Engage (Build Community) • We are starting the conversation today • Radical transformation in student education
“While all changes do not lead to improvement, all improvement requires change” Institute for Healthcare Improvement http://www.ihi.org/knowledge/Pages/default.aspx
Students are amazing learners we just need to guide them Average attention span is 6 ¼ minutes
Computers compete for attention • Text/Email/ On-line forums/Phone calls/Face Time • Avoid slang, sarcasm, jokes • Avoid overuse of emoticons and acronyms
Communication- Theirs/Yours • Clear • Concise • Correct • Complete
Lecture is a form of 1 way communication-incorporate student dialogue-ask many questions Power Point Slides-highlight & summarize points
Enter data • Pair-sharing- • Think about the answer to this question and write it down. • Introduce yourself to someone you don’t know. • Share what you wrote with your new partner.
Use iClickers or other audience query devices to engage students 20 minutes of lecture-reinforce content/concepts with something else Pause lecture-incorporate active learning
Use a Star * • Help focus on important concepts-critical information • Guide review
Strategies to build priority setting skills-Pause for Priority Setting • After teaching such as discussion on a topic or demonstration in lab, ask students- • What is the big deal • What is the point ? • What is the first priority ? • What is the first action to take ? • Why is this so important ?
Critical Thinking • There is a better way and I can find it • There is a logic to this and I can figure it out • Recognizing my weakness is a strength • Critical thinking improves us
Focus the learning/thinking process • Admit/Exit Ticket • Importance of preparation for lecture or exams • Preparation Sheet • Quizzes • Test Questions • Case Studies and questions • Create a video
Mental Practice/Imagery • Use imagery to mentally practice the steps of a procedure • Close your eyes • Imagine yourself setting up for and beginning the new skill • See yourself performing the skill • See yourself completing the skill • What is the outcome you accomplished ?
Pair-sharing- • Think about the answer to this question and write it down. • Introduce yourself to someone you don’t know. • Share what you wrote with your new partner.
Use your resources-infuse throughout class • Resource neglect affects outcomes-current recommendations in specialty
Knowledge management tools • Reduce reliance on memory • eBook vs Printed Textbooks-same vehicle, quick access to effective information • Smartlinking for Multilogical thinking
Journal discussions • Video clips lasting 3 to 5 minutes • Reflect on concepts in the film
Concept Map An illustration that represents Key Concepts and Ideas within a Framework of Propositions shows Relationships
Concept map cont. • Meaningful Learning • Linked to existing body of knowledge • Hierarchy and organization • Makes sense to the learner
Begin with Focus Question or Main Concept • Have students identify 15-20 key concepts & make a list • Rank order of importance • Place concepts on the map as students determine where they fit
Expand concepts into sub-concepts • Make connections • Revision increases clarity
Encourage Collaborative Learning • Work in groups • Brainstorm • Clear misconceptions • Thinking out loud • Learn from one another
Phased integration • Be part of the solution-Value change
Use experiential learning Example Plan-Do-Study-Act
