tailieunhanh - Lessons learned from the implementation and assessment of student centered methodologies

This format has been tested for cognitive and attitudinal gains in students and the results clearly point out to its benefits. Instructional materials for a oneyear general chemistry sequence have been developed to facilitate its implementation in classrooms. The most important aspects of the format with tested practices are discussed while challenges and implications of findings are shared in order to assist instructors interested in implementing innovative formats of instruction such this one, the cAcL2. | Journal of Technology and Science Education LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT-CENTERED METHODOLOGIES Maria T. Oliver-Hoyo North Carolina State University, Chemistry Department Raleigh, NC USA maria_oliver@ Abstract The cAcL2 approach (concept Advancement through chemistry Lab-Lecture) incorporates three major educational methodologies into one: a student-centered approach, the full integration of lecture and laboratory formats, and hands-on activity based-instruction. This format has been tested for cognitive and attitudinal gains in students and the results clearly point out to its benefits. Instructional materials for a oneyear general chemistry sequence have been developed to facilitate its implementation in classrooms. The most important aspects of the format with tested practices are discussed while challenges and implications of findings are shared in order to assist instructors interested in implementing innovative formats of instruction such this one, the cAcL2. Keywords - Educational innovation, student-centered methodologies, educational assessment 1. INTRODUCTION Globally, academic institutions of higher education evaluate faculty efforts in three realms; teaching, research, and service. However, even though academic environments are expected to embrace best practices in teaching and educational research, the inertia to actually implement significant changes is often times palpable [1-2]. th For example, during the early part of the 20 century in the United States, the general chemistry curriculum only saw changes in course content since simple adjustments of topics was easily accepted and put into practice [3-4]. In spite of the growing amount of educational research that emphasizes the importance and impact of educational methodologies in the attainment of students’ learning, content remains the main focus of faculty efforts towards teaching. The project described within evolved from the author’s firm belief
