Pedagogical Innovations in STEM is a 60-minute in-person scholarly exchange offered each quarter, showcasing leading-edge research that informs teaching and learning strategies.
Our featured scholar for fall is Erika Nadile, Assistant Director of STEM Education at the Searle Center, who will discuss her forthcoming article in American Biology Teacher. We will delve into curious questions such as:
✦ What hidden factors may be causing motivated students to lose confidence and leave STEM fields, even in active learning environments?
✦ How can understanding intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy transform our approach to teaching and retaining underrepresented students in STEM?
✦ What innovative strategies can we implement to monitor and boost student motivation throughout the semester, ensuring inclusive excellence for all?
Open to instructors at all stages of their careers, as well as graduate students and postdocs, for whom participation can be a step towards earning their Associate Level CIRTL certificate.
