Student Centered Integrative Learning:
Creating Meaning...
Building Bridges...
Developing Interdisciplinary Networks
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should
contact Jan Monroe, Faculty Development Coordinator, in the
Office of the Provost at monroej@ithaca.edu. We ask that
requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
Workshop Description: Why is it so hard for students to connect
the concepts in my discipline, beyond ‘just the facts’? Why can’t
they see the connections between what they study in my class and
in other classes? How can I get students to make these connections
faster and in a more sophisticated manner? These are persistent
and perplexing questions with which faculty members wrestle
as they prepare each class they teach. In this interactive set
of workshops, participants will learn why students respond the
way they do to our carefully crafted courses, what we can do to
deepen their understanding of our own disciplines, and how we
can connect students and ideas across disciplines in ways that
help them see the larger picture. Participants will come away
with concrete strategies for designing integrative learning into
their own classes, get ideas for how to design and implement
interdisciplinary courses, and have the chance to look at
successful examples of courses using integrative learning
strategies.
