Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Laboratory, University of Delaware, Resource Site - 1 views

shared by sheryl barnes on 03 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • The space is meant to blur the lines between disciplines and to tear down the walls—literally and metaphorically— between instruction and research, so that the research being conducted in one lab provides the content for the curriculum being taught next door.
  • We want to elevate the level of discovery—be it in research or teaching. Problem-based learning is as an effective route to that goal and the ISE-Lab will provide the perfect environment for implementing an integrated science curriculum using PBL. The problems that need to be solved don’t fall into neat disciplinary areas, nor do students think that way. PBL is about the real world.

    In this research we sought to understand student practices, beliefs, and behaviors that led to positive engagement on campus. More specifically, we studied student engagement as a function of the individual within the contexts of classroom and university environment using a basic interpretive approach. First year students from a medium-sized, public, Midwestern university participated in interviews on engagement, the classroom, university, and community contexts. Results suggest that both personality and a sense of self influence students' levels of engagement. Students who had identified life goals and who sought related activities and relationships made greater use of university resources and felt more engaged. We propose ways in which instructors and universities can make simple changes that may help enhance the experience of all students.

    Great TED talk on teaching, learning, and (ultimately) analytics. Characteristics of better learning systems: * Competency-based, not time-based, * One level's success does drive the next, * Flexible schedules match complex lives, * Online & off-line tools in synch, * At home & in-school matching work.

    We have avoided the 2 main problems mentioned: not standardizing on a technology & faculty not know knowing which IT group "owns" clickers, largely by being out in front of the issue. Overall adoption is pretty low (single digit % of classes across higher ed.) Need to test wireless network prior to using phones as clickers in large classes.

  • when professors get together to talk about change, they are talking mainly to each other. Most people do not understand how universities work, why they cost so much, how they got this way, and why they are so slow to change.
  • American colleges and universities do not have to change who they are, they have to discover who they are
  • trapped by culture and tradition and continue to sow the seeds of their own destruction
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • as a recent Pew poll shows, the middle is for the most part oblivious to the new realities. They think they are doing fine when study after study shows that most of them are in deep trouble. There is a Lake Wobegon-like belief that everyone is above average
  • there are only two things wrong with higher education: what we teach and how we teach it
  • advice for the middle is this: figure out what you do that makes you different and more valuable and then figure out how to offer that to as many students as you can
  • there is a great experiment taking place in the for-profit sector. Great innovation will be the result, and if traditional professors ignore the lessons of innovation they are likely to be left in the dust
  • professors who do not provide value, who are excessively, inwardly focused on the concerns of their profession, who confuse lecturing with teaching, who confuse scholarship with winning sponsored research grants, are usually swept to the margins
