In this session, we will cover the use of active learning techniques in the classroom to engage students in the learning process. We will begin with a short discussion on considerations for active learning, followed by how to create buy-in for students. Afterwards, we will go over different techniques depending on content goals and group sizes. We will finish by designing a lesson plan that integrates 1-2 active learning techniques that you can use in your own discussions. Participants interested in learning more are encouraged to visit the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation (DTEI) website at www.dtei.uci.edu.
