GA16: What Students Don't Know That They Don't Know

Hours: 1.5

In this interactive session, participants will hear about research from the area of cognitive psychology that focuses on how we learn. Scientists now understand that most people (students AND teachers) have beliefs about learning and memory that are incorrect, and that these beliefs can negatively impact student success. Join the conversation and develop strategies for learning and teaching that are based in the science of thinking and memory. Leave with ideas that you can share with your students to empower them to study smarter.

Participants will gain new knowledge about how cognitive psychologists understand the learning process.

At this FCTL (Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning) workshop, we'll be raffling off great books on teaching. Come collaborate with your colleagues and see if you can win one!

Missi Patterson has been a professor of psychology at ACC since 1999 and loves to help students learn about how the brain works. She is currently serving as the Assistant Dean of Faculty Development, leading the creation and operation of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL). She's a passionate believer in the idea that faculty can enrich their teaching simply by taking the time to collaborate with and learn from their colleagues.
