Abstract for the conference program
This presentation will explore the use of lecture as a method of course delivery in undergraduate STEM gateway courses. With the increasing number of students in beginning STEM courses, how can an instructor actively engage students in acquiring the desired knowledge and skills? Can active learning strategies be incorporated into a typical lecture? What does research say about active learning in STEM courses? What IS active learning? By utilizing what we know about how students learn, instructors can design course delivery in a way that results in learning, not just content acquisition.
