Dr. Saundra McGuire will be returning to UCF on March 21st to give a presentation for faculty in TA 130 from 10:30 to 12:00:
Get Students to Focus on Learning Instead of Grades: Metacognition is the Key!
21st-century students come to college with widely varying academic skills, approaches to learning, and motivation levels. Faculty often lament that students are focused on achieving high grades, but are not willing to invest much time or effort in learning. This session will focus on the importance of helping students acquire simple, but effective learning strategies based on cognitive science principles. We will engage in interactive reflection activities that will allow attendees to experience strategies that significantly improve learning while transforming student attitudes about the meaning of learning.
Hosted by: Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning
