| Summary: | Research on learning and cognition in geoscience education research and other discipline-based education communities suggests that effective instruction should include three key components, activation of students' prior knowledge on the subject, an active learning pedagogy that allows students to address any existing misconceptions and then build a new understanding of the concept and metacognitive reflections that require students to evaluate their own learning processes during the lesson. This book provides an overview of the research on student-centered pedagogy in introductory geoscience and paleontology courses and gives examples of these instructional approaches. |
