5 Totally Ineffective Strategies for Teaching and Presenting (and How to Avoid Them): Using Evidenced-Based Learning Principles

Dennis Lowe

Abstract

While educators are often fascinated with principles from learning science, Agarwal and Bain (2019) note that many ideas get filed away and are rarely implemented in the classroom. In addition, conference presentations often rely on traditional didactic methods rather than using sound principles from learning science (Corwin et al., 2019). This session explores the implications of learning science for our approach to “presentations” at educational conferences as well as in the classroom (by instructors and students).
