  1. Results from our #RCT of Jigsaw #ActiveLearning vs. traditional lectures for teaching #anatomy and #physiology:

    Both methods improved student knowledge, but no evidence of *differences* in learning between the two methods (immediately or after three months). However, many more students in the ‘traditional teaching’ group than in the Jigsaw group *preferred* their assigned teaching method over others (78% vs. 38%).

  2. National Storytelling Week reminds us that stories don’t only live in books 📚✨

    With a light, a screen, and a little imagination, shadow puppets bring stories to life in a whole new way- through movement, voices, problem-solving and creativity. Children become the storytellers, the characters, and the directors all at once.
    This is a great activity to try at home!

  3. Another thing I'm looking for resources and articles for as I do research between semesters for a presentation is #ActiveLearning in classrooms. I'm especially interested in Active Learning for online / hyflex classes.

    Also looking for OER #OpenEducationalResources stuff.

  5. 🚒The Oak children had a great time visiting the Fire Station today! It was amazing for them to learn first-hand about how firefighters work to keep our community safe. They even got a chance to operate the hose!

    "students exhibited larger learning gains from prediction activities compared with worked examples or tell-then-practice activities, as evidenced by a course pretest/posttest"

  7. The first poster session of #smbe2023 is tonight, in person in 2 venues (Estense castle and San Paulo cloisters), and also online in gathertown. I’m presenting my work on an active learning activity I use to teach #evolution to undergraduate students. It is in Session 21- Science For Everybody: Education and Outreach in Molecular Biology and Evolution. Poster 17 in person and poster 1 within session 21 on Gather! #ActiveLearning #DBER #TeachingAndLearning
