Designing Active Learning Around Learners’ Behaviors and Motivations

Upcoming Workshops

November 14, 2023, 1:30-4 pm (IN-PERSON) | Register by 10/27/2023

Research demonstrates that achieving high-yield, active-learning experiences requires specific learner behaviors and the motivation to participate. Small-group activities will engage participants (a) in a discovery of the meanings of the ICAP model for learner behaviors and self-determination theory of motivation; and (b) to utilize these two principles to design active learning that incorporates both sets of explicitly learner-centered principles. Participants will emerge with a research-informed framework for designing or evaluating learning experiences through observation for intended behaviors and learner motivation.

Objectives

Upon completion, workshop participants will be able to:

1) Recognize learner behaviors within the Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive model
2) Identify instructional and assessment strategies that do, or do not, favor development of autonomy support to motivate learners
3) Initiate design of a learning session using ICAP and self-determination theory.
