Florencia Gabriele presents "The Science of Learning Economics" at the NAEE Professional Development Conference. @AceleOnline's first training course will be available this summer! #teachecon
Conference season begins and @AceleOnline is here talking pedagogical training for Econ grad students! If you’re interested, give us a follow. #teachecon
Georgia Tech economics professors and graduate students working diligently on best practices for implementing learning science into their teaching. #teachecon
"Engagement" is often pushed as a key goal of instruction, but here @effortfuleduktr makes a strong argument that one has to be very careful with this term. You can certainly have a lot of engagement without much learning at all.
I'd argue for "deliberate practice" instead.
Heading to #CTREE today. If you are attending, stop by our table and learn more about our online, evidence-based pedagogy-training courses for economics!
If I knew how to learn in graduate school, I would be a better economist, teacher, and researcher today. Instead, I crammed my way through first year classes, got frustrated because nothing would stick, and quit to try something else.
We need to teach more people how to learn.
