Comment on The Student-Centered Lecture by drkareblog

I deeply appreciate this post and really have enjoyed participating in this type of engaged, networked learning. I wonder as I think back to some of my Master’s program counseling courses where we had lectures, our teachers inserted a lot of real world examples and other case studies to help bring what we were learning to life. We engaged in “fishbowl” activities to show how theories were applied, did role-playing activities to get a feel for how to engage with clients, and many student-led lectures and presentations were completed after we had researched material. Perhaps we were doing similar things without the technology in the latter part of the 2000s. So interesting to see how things are changing in teaching over time.

Dr. Nelson,

Thanks for sharing some of your magic tricks. I’m so impressed by the posts that some of your undergraduate students are doing. The level of commitment is really impressive.

One question I have, thinking of engineering of course, how would you incorporate the learning of more technical topics, like solving equations, or things that are more mathematical based. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but would like to have your perspective. I do think there is a better way of teaching it beyond giving one problem and making them repeat and repeat problems. I think we can incorporate a lot of student-centered activities.

These all sound like great ideas, Chad. My students research and write their posts independently and then we work with them collaboratively online and in our F2F meetings. I bet peer mentoring, peer-reviewing activities might work well in your composition classes? Also love the idea of “thought experiments.”

I’ve tried to implement more student-centered activities in my lectures. Composition is tough because so much of the process of writing is done independently, but including activities like workshops, grammar activities and thought experiments that keep students grounded and get them involved tend to be successful.
