Abstract/Description
The University of Dayton, committed to its Catholic Marianist tradition of education, strives to educate the whole person, emphasizes shared responsibility and collaboration, and believes that education can transform society if people work together. A student-centered, social, experiential and active learning classroom is an ideal venue to encourage student responsibility of their learning, relationship and community building, as well as inclusivity. This session will showcase the innovative learning space that is the LTC Studio, provide a brief introduction to student-centered, social and active learning, and show concrete examples of a variety of activities that various faculty members have successfully implemented in this learning space. These activities, based on current learning theory, can be easily adapted across disciplines and applied in other learning spaces. Time will be set aside for questions, discussion, and sharing of how attendees use student-centered, social and active learning in their own learning spaces.
