Most students think that memorizing information just before examinations is tantamount to learning and spend considerably less time studying than is commensurate with their grade expectations. This interactive workshop will help address why many students lack confidence in their ability to learn and have difficulty achieving course learning outcomes. Cognitive science research-based methods that can be used to facilitate conceptual, transferable learning will be discussed. Additionally, data will be presented that supports the efficacy of teaching students about metacognitive learning strategies and mindset. We will also discuss strategies for addressing student needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness, self-esteem, and enjoyment in order to significantly increase student motivation.  Register here: https://bloomu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8IHJSzWX4WSiWKa   Teach Students How to Learn 2.0 1 to 2:15 p.m. Have you already read about the approaches for teaching students how to learn, and even intended to try them, but haven’t done so yet? Or have you tried them and seen results that were less than optimal? This workshop will present the key components of a successful intervention and the “secret ingredients” that will inspire students to put transformative learning strategies into action! Participants will share successful strategies and suggest approaches for overcoming challenges. If you are new to Dr. McGuire’s work, you are welcome to join to learn about how others have been applying ideas from Teach Students how to Learn.
