Conference Tracks
Learning Theories and Pedagogy – Research
Abstract
Abstract: Many professors express frustration at the lack of study skills and specific abilities needed for students to successfully navigate a college course. With the amount of material to cover, many feel overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to teach study skills as well.
McGuire and McGuire (2015) examine motivation, study skills, and metacognitive insights required for course mastery. This study will share the practices and student feedback from courses in biology, economics, literature, and religion to offer participants an opportunity to experience a metacognitive exercise and reflect on how this might be applicable to his / her own classroom.
