Active and Engaged Learning for Science Information Literacy Sessions in Undergraduate Higher Education

Session Description
Connecting newly developed knowledge in the sciences to current events and societal issues helps students engage in the research process for deeper learning and critical thinking. Emerging teaching trends in undergraduate science education include moving away from the traditional lecture model, with effective pedagogical practices such as student-centered, cooperative learning, multidisciplinary approaches to problem-solving, metacognition techniques, and collaborative work. This session will use active teaching strategies to help librarians discover engaging, new techniques for facilitating a collaborative learning environment. Strategies for using peer-assessment, reflective self-evaluation and collaborative assessment tools will also be introduced within this session.
