Using Cognitive Principles to Motivate Durable Learning in Students with Dr. Joe Kim

When:
Wednesday, May 29, 2024
10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Where:
Ellis Hall
Room: Auditorium
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Research from cognitive psychology on attention, memory and learning has informed our pedagogical decisions to develop evidence-based interventions in education. A key focus has been to promote learning that is durable – extending beyond short-term testing into long-term retention of information that remains with the student after the final exam. In this presentation, I will discuss how academic performance is significantly improved with effective learning strategies that have been established in controlled lab studies and translated to the classroom. These practices work by strengthening long-term retention and depend on instructors to implement effective instructional design and students to take an active role in their own learning.

This is the keynote for Teaching and Learning Month:

Psychology of Focusing on What Really Matters with Dr. Joe Kim

When:
Tuesday, May 28, 2024
2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Where:
Ellis Hall
Room: 321
Find on Campus Map
Description:

We are pulled in multiple directions with increasing demands for our time and attention. Without a game plan, confusion, procrastination and “busy work” dominate over moving toward higher goals. Research from psychology can provide effective strategies to choose priorities that separate signal from noise, focus attention to engage in deep work, and develop habits that invest limited resources on what really matters. In this workshop we will (1) explore how understanding the cognitive architecture of the mind leads to developing a working plan to handle daily challenges with optimized solutions; (2) develop a culture for productivity that promotes deep work; and (3) learn about tools to integrate into workflows to shift our resources to important tasks that include strategic planning.
