Session 1: To be confirmed

Course Level:  Introductory Target Participants:  Associates and Faculty

Registration:  Invited Associates / Faculty will receive the registration details via  email from TLC approximately four  weeks before workshop.

Synopsis 

Decades of research have suggested that we need to move from teacher-centred learning to student-centred learning to help students learn better. Despite the call, many classrooms are still primarily dominated by didactic lectures.

The purpose of this workshop is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to design and implement student-centred learning. The term student-centred learning will be unpacked during the workshop. We will discuss both the general pedagogical strategies for designing student-centred learning and specific strategies for classes with different sizes.

Learning Outcomes 

At the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:

1. Define student-centred learning
2. Describe pedagogical strategies for fostering student-centred learning
3. Design student-centred learning in big classes
4. Design student-centred learning in small classes
