=============PROGRAM=================
8:30 - Registration
& Continental Breakfast
9:00 - 9:15 Welcome &
Introduction - Dr. Kerry Grant, Vice Provost for Academic
Affiars, University at Buffalo
9:15-10:45 Motivating Students
- Dr. Wilbert McKeachie, Department of Psychology, University of
Michigan
Often we think of motivation only in terms of good grades as
rewards for good performance. However, a heavy emphasis on grades may be
detrimental to long term motivation. We need to foster both intrinsic
motivation and self-efficacy if we want life-long learning to
develop.
10:45 - 11:00 - Break
11:00 - 12:15
Classroom Techniques: lecture design and delivery - Dr. Kenneth
J. Takeuchi, Chemistry Department, University at Buffalo
In light of
the regular usage of lectures in the classroom, this presentation will discuss
some aspects of course design, student assignments, course syllabus, and
classroom activities, with a focus on lecture design and delivery. The
discussion of lecture design and delivery will be structured based on four
educational goals: information, organization, motivation, and
learning.
12:15 - 1:15 - Lunch
1:15 - 2:30
The Use of Interrupted Case Method: A cooperative learning
strategy that works - Dr. Clyde Herreid, Distinguished Teaching Professor,
University at Buffalo
2:30 - 2:45 - Break
2:45 -
4:15 Six Decades: Lessons Learned - Dr. Wilbert McKeachie,
Department of Psychology, University at Michigan
Among the
lessons I have learned are that what works for one student may not work for
another, that what works for one class may not work for the next, and that
what works for a class early in the term may not be effective later in the
term.
4:15 - 4:30 Concluding Remarks & Assessment- Dr. Mary
Anne Rokitka, Associate Professor, School of Medicine; Assistant Dean,
Undergraduate Education
