We will share our experience attending the Summer Institute of Scientific Teaching
and how it has changed our classroom experience. Active learning forms the core of
scientific teaching. It is more structured towards the engagement and critical thinking
skills of the learner through various classroom activities like peer learning, problem
solving and inquiry-based learning. The goal being that the students take charge of
their learning by doing and the teacher assuming the role of a facilitator. We will
also present peer-reviewed research showing that active learning improves student
performance and demonstrate various active learning strategies. We will also reflect
on our own classroom experiences implementing active learning in variety of courses,
address the common misconceptions and highlight the different ways you could include
this to strengthen your teaching part of your annual portfolio.
