Creating Natural Critical Learning Environments
Dr. Kenneth Bain’s keynote address at Simon Fraser University’s “First Year in Focus: Engaging Students in their First Year and Beyond” conference on Thursday May 14, 2009.
How can we foster deep learning among our students, learning that will have a sustained, substantial, and positive influence on the way students subsequently think, act, and feel?
How can we motivate them to take a deep approach to their learning, rather than a surface or strategic approach?
In this highly interactive talk, Ken Bain draws on his award-winning fifteen-year study of highly effective college and university teachers to help participants explore how they can create powerful learning environments for their students.
We explore what it means to learn deeply and the elements of what Bain calls a Natural Critical Learning Environment.
