TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
What I Hear, I Forget; What I See, I Remember, What I Do, I Understand
Active learning is an approach to instruction that involves dynamically engaging students
with the course material through methods that place responsibility on the learner.
Active learning methods help promote higher order thinking skills such as application,
analysis, and synthesis, and engage students in deep rather than surface learning.
In this presentation, Dr. Raines and Dr. Aloia will review best practices for active
learning and strategies to encourage student immersion including admission tickets,
fishbowl discussions, think-pair-share, and a hatful of quotes.
Dr. Anne Raines serves as Senior Director for Academic Initiatives in the Student
Success Center and subscribes to a students-helping-students model to provide academic
support. Active learning and student engagement are at the center of student-employee
training for the Peer Academic Coaching, Supplemental Instruction, Tutoring, and Writing
Studio programs. At various times, Anne has coordinated the SI, tutoring, and writing
programs on campus.
Dr. Lindsey S. Aloia is the Director of the Honors Studies Program in the Fulbright
College of Arts and Sciences and an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication
at the University of Arkansas. Her research focuses on elucidating the causes and
consequences of verbal aggression in interpersonal associations. Specifically, Dr.
Aloia studies how qualities of interpersonal interactions, as well as individuals,
shape the use of and reactions to verbally aggressive experiences. In addition, Dr.
Aloia teaches a variety of undergraduate communication courses, including communication
theory, interpersonal communication, and conflict communication. Dr. Aloia also teaches
graduate seminars in interpersonal communication and family communication, and graduate
courses in quantitative research methods.
