How Learning Happens [Grad/Postdoc Workshop]
March 10 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Facilitator: Jamie Kim
What motivates students to invest effort, stay engaged, and take ownership of their learning? Join us to discuss how learning happens for students and how we as instructors can help support that process! This session, grounded in the science of learning, explores how prior knowledge shapes new understanding, how learners organize and retain information, and how instructors can help their students stay motivated and engaged in learning. Participants will be invited to share their own classroom experiences and discuss practical strategies for helping students strengthen metacognitive skills and become more self-directed learners. This session is part of the Improving Your Classroom Skills certificate program for graduate students and postdocs.
