Shaun Eide (Information Systems) Tuesday, October 12, 11:00a.-12:00pm
Before ever stepping foot into your class, your students have already formed their expectations about your course. These beliefs may or may not be an accurate foreshadowing of the course. Unless disrupted, these initial beliefs will guide students’ interpretation of their experiences throughout the semester. In this SET, we will explore tools and strategies that can be used to effectively assess students’ beliefs. Upon understanding these beliefs, we will explore how to provide experiences to disrupt erroneous beliefs in a constructive manner.
