Flipped? Blended? Mastery? Active? Current teaching trends are more similar than they might first appear because they only work if they are designed with sound learning principles in mind. This workshop will uncover the psychological principles of long-term, meaningful learning and show how to use these principles in chemistry instructional design. In the first part of the workshop, participants will experience a highly structured activity that requires them to examine research evidence and draw conclusions about effective educational practices. The debrief that follows will discuss what instructional practices were demonstrated in the activity. In the second part of the workshop, participants will plan for refining their courses to encourage their students to think in ways that lead to lasting, deep learning. Many of the learning principles discussed can be incorporated into existing courses easily and with no cost. Participants will have time to consider new ideas for chemistry activities, assignments, and assessments and will leave for a plan to incorporate the strategies discussed. The workshop content is relevant to educators who use any instructional method.
