If #education primarily focuses on knowledge building, no wonder #students are more concerned about regurgitating the information to get the grade rather than learning the actual value of the education: process to gain knowledge–hashtag#criticalthinking.

2023 Year-in-Review: Top Five of My Most Viewed Education Posts https://t.co/CZNV1GXJ4F

The #growthmindset, #grit, and #agency that #athletes need to perform at their best are the same for #students in the #classroom. As #educators, we should strive to #coach students, not just deliver information.

While #college graduation rates have steadily improved and remained stagnant last few years due to #COVID, a deeper look into the data will show that more progress needs to be made to close the #studentsuccess gap for the #underservedcommunities.

Emphasizing #students complete short-term #tasks as means for building #studentsuccess would shift their focus from the grade to the #effort needed to achieve it.

We often joke about #grades do not truly represent #learning. And yet, we continue to overemphasize them as a proxy for #studentsuccess in #k12education and #highereducation, wrongly reinforcing #learning is just about getting good #grades.

Open-note exam reinforces #criticalthinking having to gather material from different sources to answer questions–that's how the #realworld works.

If we say college is also about #personalgrowth, then we need to better integrate non-academic guidance on navigating #lifechallenges in #highereducation.

#activelearning improves #studentengagement in the #classroom through #experientiallearning. #reflectivelearning is an essential follow-up for #students to internalize, contextualize, and ultimately retain what they have learned through #criticalthinking.

We often underestimate #k12 and #highered students' critical thinking skills because we don't provide them enough opportunities to show us.

True interest is revealed when students are willing to overcome their less procedural knowledge competency to reach their goals. I always applaud any #engineering #students in my class who admit they are not good at #math.

[Patrick P Hong @patrickpjhong]

#artificialintelligence versus #academicintegrity – is it possible to have both? As #educators and as "smarter" #humans, we should be cautious about the dangers but ethically harness the wave's powerful potential to improve #studentsuccess.

[Patrick P Hong @patrickpjhong]

As a #professor, #students must know the "Why" behind #classroom #subjects through #criticalthinking in the #learningjourney and its connection with #collegestudents' #careergoals for #motivation.

https://t.co/6SxY7t5YyY

[Patrick P Hong @patrickpjhong]

The first step in helping #students develop agency over their #learning is to ensure #coursework explicitly adds #value and is #relevant to their #reallife #careergoals - explain the why - "understand why they're learning what they're learning." https://t.co/K39nSpnm80

[Patrick P Hong @patrickpjhong]

As #educators, we not only need to help #students to be #careerready but also #coach them to develop #selfawareness, #selfmonitoring, and #selfregulation to manage never-ending and ever-increasing distractions in #life. BTW: Us #adults can also practice them more, too!
