Freeman et al, 2014 Meta-Analysis: Active Learning vs Lecturing Mean Failure Rates
When I ask University faculty this question ………. . Where do you get your teaching ideas/methods from? What do you think is the most common reply? (think – pair – share)
Your homework Currently Teaching? • Identify specific learning outcomes for one class period • Collect/analyze data • Revise teaching methods as needed (e. g. , thinkpair-share) Not Currently Teaching? • Identify an instructor • Help them do these
Invitation to Collaborate with Hawai‘i Selected 2019 Activities • Implementing “tried & true” pedagogical strategies • Conducting Education Research • Faculty coaching (pedagogy, mentoring) • Individualized Development Plans (IDPs) • Compiling place-based resources (e. g, integrating western science with indigenous knowledge, community-driven research)

I don’t believe that active learning can work in a large lecture. (UW professor, 8/12) I just know that students. . (UW professor, 3/09) Although it did not occur to us. . to collect data, we consistently observed … (Barzilai 2000) We feel that our junior-senior cell biology course. . . works extraordinarily well … (Lodish et al. 2005) We think that our objective of teaching the students to think was well-accomplished. (Miller & Cheetham 1990) We strongly believe that they lead to deeper understanding. . (Rosenthal 1995) (S. Freeman, 2016 Earth Educators Rendezvous)
