MAA instructional Practices Guide #

Part 2 of 7 - Fostering Student Engagement

“Active” Learning Reminder #

That means this is not lecture versus active learning; it is all-lecture learning versus lecture plus active learning ¹

Practices Fostering Student Engagement #

Before we dig in individually, let’s look at the list:

• Just-in-time teaching
• Developing persistence in problem solving
• Inquiry-based teaching and learning strategies
• Peer instruction and technology

Discussion: #

In small groups, discuss (~ 3-5 minutes) then we’ll share out:

• What are you already using?
  • How it is going? where could it improve?

Practices:

• Just-in-time teaching
  • (Summer’s calc 2 & 3: Aubrey?)
• Developing persistence in problem solving
  • (Sangami’s 012 course, Tuesday)
• Inquiry-based teaching and learning strategies
  • (samples shared below)
• Peer instruction and technology
  • (we can model this with the 4-functions activity)

Practices Fostering Student Engagement #

Now let’s dig into each together as a community:

• Just-in-time teaching
• Developing persistence in problem solving
• Inquiry-based teaching and learning strategies
• Peer instruction and technology

Inquiry based learning (IBL) examples #

• Active Calculus Series
• Calculus for Team-Based Inquiry Learning
• IBL Activies in Discrete, e.g. (Oscar Levin’s text)
• Inquiry Oriented Linear Algebra
• Even more from Steven Clontz and more in the Team-Based Learning Collaborative
• All of these are OERs

More IBL examples in upper division #

• Number Theory, Real Analysis, Topology
