Students’ cognitive development and increasing subject mastery require them to transition from a primary orientation of receiving direction and assimilating foundational knowledge to a primary orientation of analyzing cases or issues and applying learned principles and procedures toward solutions. During this transition, the roles and methods for both teachers and students change, with students taking on more responsibility for direction as well as more cognitive load. The challenge for teachers during this transition is to determine when and how to provide more structure to student activity, and when to remove structure in order to help manage their cognitive load. Our workshops for this Teaching and Learning Day will address effective practices for organizing and managing student teams as well as selecting and facilitating case-based and problem-based learning.
