Enhancing Student Learning Using SCALE-UP Format
Abstract
SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Activities for Large-Enrollment Undergraduate Programs) is a highly collaborative, hands-on classroom format where the primary emphasis is on learning by guided inquiry instead of by listening. The session will feature an overview of SCALE-UP, a sample lesson taught in SCALE-UP format, and a group reflection activity. The SCALE-UP teaching format requires a student-active teaching style, and this presentation will provide background information as well as first-hand experience to help educators apply it. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to: plan a SCALE-UP lesson guide activities during class periods maximize the effectiveness of learning assistants assess student learning during class periods Participants will receive a hand-out with the essential components of a SCALE-UP lesson and suggestions for assessing learning.
