You think that people process information either in the left or right brain hemispheres. You believe that we only use 10% of our brains. If you hold these beliefs, then you might waste time and energy on myths about learning that are not true and influence how you think about teaching and learning. No matter your subject area, knowing how the brain thinks and learns enhances your instruction and makes learning more effective. In this webinar, join Dr. Mariale Hardiman as she shares what all instructors should know about the learning sciences and research-based strategies that focus on:
- Creating activities that promote positive environments to enhance learning for adult learners
- Designing strategies to improve the acquisition of content in long-term memory systems
- Using activities that foster creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills
