Moving Beyond Content: Engaging, Motivating and Attending to Student Attitudes in General Education Courses

With  Kaatje van der Hoeven Kraft from Mesa (AZ) Community College

During the featured session, Ms. Kraft will discuss data from her research on what controls students’ ability to learn content, and what influences their desire to learn the content, engage in a course and persist.  She will also share suggested teaching strategies that have the potential to make a difference in student learning in any classroom based on these results.  

During the workshop portion of this session, participants will have an opportunity to explore the following ways to apply affect in their own classroom:

1)      How to make adjustments to current practices to increase or improve student motivation, interest, and attitudes

2)      Appropriate ways to tie self-regulatory strategies for your discipline to student affect

3)      Techniques to assess student affect
