Abstract:
There has been a recent call for a paradigm shift in undergraduate education from traditional (teacher-centric) methods to learner-centered practices. Learner-centered teaching requires students to be active and responsible participants in constructing their own learning and offers several benefits over traditional methods such as higher gains in learning, better long-term retention of concepts, and improved motivation for learning.
This workshop focuses on active learning strategies that can be used with any instructional delivery method to increase teaching effectiveness. We will explore practical, research-based strategies that are adaptable and scalable and that are proven to be effective in different classroom environments.
Presenter:
Dr. Stephanie Farrell is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Rowan University (USA). She obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology in 1996. Prior to joining the faculty at Rowan in 1998, she was an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Louisiana Tech University until 1998. As a pioneer of inductive teaching methodology in engineering courses, she has made significant contributions toward project-based learning and novel laboratory experiences to engage students in the scientific discovery process. Dr. Farrell has been recognized nationally and internationally for significant contributions to engineering education through her work in experiential learning and faculty development.
