Team-Based Learning Workshops
5/17/2012, From 9:30am until 3:30pm
Location: Communicore Building, 1st Floor (Inside the HSC Library)
More Details »Decription: Team-Based Learning Workshops REGISTRATION LINKS - BE SURE TO REGISTER FOR *EACH DATE* AND *EACH COMPONENT* YOU PLAN TO ATTEND: Please register at HSC Training: http://training.health.ufl.edu/public_workshops_scheduled.aspx?sponsor=14 (See Thursday, June 28, 2012 for more workshops) Presented by Larry K. Michaelsen, Ph.D. Professor of Management University of Central Missouri Larry K. Michaelsen (Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from The University of Michigan) David Ross Boyd Professor Emeritus at the University of Oklahoma, Professor of Management at Central Missouri State University, a Carnegie Scholar, a Fulbright Senior Scholar and, former Editor of the Journal of Management Education. He is active in faculty and staff development activities and has conducted workshops on teaching effectively with small groups in a wide variety of university and corporate settings. Dr. Michaelsen has received numerous college, university and national awards for his outstanding teaching and for his pioneering work in the development of Team-Based Learning, a comprehensive small-group based instructional process that is now being used in over 100 academic disciplines and on over 200 campuses in the US and in eight foreign countries. 9:30 am – 12:00 noon Designing Group Work that Really Works CAUTION: Group assignments can and, all too often, do more harm than good. The most common sign of trouble is when students (especially the better ones) feel like they have to choose between doing more than their fair share of the work or risk getting a bad grade. When that happens, the real cause usually isn’t the students—it’s almost always what the teacher is asking them to do. In addition, even if they turn in a high quality product, many students will leave the experience with negative attitudes about group work that are likely to limit their ability to adapt to today’s team-oriented workplace environments. In this session, you will engage in a series of activities that demonstrate why most problems with learning groups are caused by poorly designed assignments. In addition, you will learn about four keys that will enable you to design group assignments that: 1) are effective for developing students’ application and critical-thinking skills, 2) promote positive student attitudes about group work, 3) can be graded easily and fairly and, 4) can be used with any level of students and in classes of up to several hundred students. 12:00 – 1:00 pm Lunch Provided 1:00 – 3:30 pm Getting Beyond Covering Content: A Key to Student Motivation and Success Teachers often face a dilemma based on two realities—most students are: 1. Far more motivated (and successful) when they see how course content applies to their “real world.” 2. Bored by lectures but unable to apply course content unless they know what the content is. This workshop will begin with a demonstration of a Readiness Assurance Process that is an effective approach for dealing with this dilemma by creating conditions that motivate the vast majority of students to complete pre-class reading assignments. This enables teachers spend most of the class time focusing on content applications without reducing the number of concepts that are covered. Following the demonstration, we will explore additional issues and concerns about using learning groups including: • Building groups into self-managed learning teams with norms that promote high levels of individual preparation, content engagement and class attendance. • Coping with the mechanics (e.g. physical layout, materials and exams, classroom procedures, grading, etc.).
