CTLE Professional Development Seminar:

Promoting Active Learning and Student Engagement in Learning-centred Teaching

Date: 8 March
Time: 3:00PM-4:30PM
Venue: E3-1032

Introduction:

It is our understanding that effective learning will take place if students are engaged in active learning. Yet, it is not uncommon to hear teachers say that their students are always passive and disengaged in the classroom. The presentation will focus on why active learning and student engagement are essential in learning-centred teaching and some instructional strategies for promoting active learning and student engagement in the classroom will be explored.
