Anarchy in the Classroom can be a Good Thing
September 10, 2009
12:00-1:00p.m.
S 0120
David presents a new teaching technique (on behalf of TEAM-L). He was inspired by Dave Sykes, John Scarbrough, and David Reynolds. The main component is “Active Learning”, where students do most of the presentation in class. There is also an element of “Mastery Learning” where students can take different exams repeatedly in an effort to improve. In addition there is an element of self-paced learning, where students are rewarded for working ahead. Finally the final exam plays a big role in the students’ final grades. Scores in these sections are sky-rocketing compared to traditional lectures. Student attitudes are very positive (even in a math class!) and interaction between students in and out of class is greater than ever. [TEAM-L stands for “Teachers Experimenting and Assessing to Maximize Learning”. We encourage all LLCC faculty to experiment in the classroom and then to assess their results to hopefully improve student performance.]
