The
Dynamic Classroom:
Engaging Students in Higher Education
edited
by Catherine Black
With each new era, educators must examine the cultural and technological
changes that define the times in order to reflect or incorporate them
into teaching practice. As a result of that examination, teachers find
ways to use the best, ignore the worst, and strive to create a
meaningful and dynamic learning environment.
The Dynamic Classroom: Engaging Students in Higher
Education submits that there is no single method for the
current era or any other era, and accordingly approaches this crucial
question from multiple angles in a collection of fourteen best-practices
papers. These papers address student engagement thoughtfully and
practically, offering in-depth insight into solutions for each pivotal
issue.
This book includes
sections on how to:
●
Prepare the ground for engaging students
●
Engage students in a variety of settings
●
Engage students with new technologies
●
Assess students engagement
The Dynamic Classroom provides detailed examinations of a
range of engagement strategies— from asking the right questions to using
the Inquiry Circle to using new technologies. Selecting from these
strategies streamlines the process for educators and offers the teacher
some contemporary and exciting ways to inspire and engage students. |
