GE Retreat: How to Make a Difference on Student Learning (Dr. Candy Ho (MKT), Dr. Loretta Kim (HIST), Dr. Kelvin Yue (CMTR), Dr. Kwok Wai Luen (REL) and Dr. Cinnie Ng (SA))
GE Retreat AY2014-15 S1: How to Make a Difference on Student Learning
It is no surprise to many educators that one of the most consistent findings in educational research demonstrates that the more times students spend engaged during the learning process, the more they learn (Gettinger & Ball, 2007). Such research has shown that involved students not only learn more efficiently and effectively, but also are more successful at mastering the learning outcomes. In addition, students who are engaged in learning are more likely to become passionate about learning in general.
How can you increase the amount of time that students in your class are engaged in your teaching? In this retreat, colleagues will share how they use exciting and interactive ways to engage students in their learning. We will also showcase students’ creative works to demonstrate how to make GE courses with enjoyable moments for student learning. Also, sharing and discussions will be initiated with reference to the reflections collected from students on GE courses.
Do not miss this valuable opportunity to exchange and excel together!
