Synopsis "Effective Instruction for STEM Disciplines: From Learning Theory to College Teaching"
Praise for Effective Instruction for STEM Disciplines"The world of today's learners is a multimode,information-intensive universe of interactive bursts and virtualexchanges, yet our teaching methods retain the outdatedcharacteristics of last generation's study-and-drill approach. Newpedagogical methods, detailed and justified in this groundbreakingwork, are essential to prepare students to confront the concerns ofthe future. The book challenges our traditional assumptions andinforms the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) community of the latest research on how the brain learns andretains information, how enhanced student engagement with subjectmaterial and its context is essential to deep learning, and how touse this knowledge to structure STEM education approaches thatwork."—David V. Kerns, Jr., Franklin and Mary OlinDistinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, andfounding provost, Olin College"Every STEM faculty member should have this book. It provides ahandy introduction to the 'why and how' of engaging students in thelearning process."—David Voltmer, professor emeritus,Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and American Society forEngineering Education Fellow"The poor quality of math and science education and the shortageof well-qualified graduates are acknowledged almost daily in theU.S. press. Here the authors provide much-needed insights foreducators seeking to improve the quality of STEM education as wellas to better prepare students to solve the problems they willconfront in our increasingly technology-driven world."—KeithBuffinton, interim dean of engineering, Bucknell University
