Crucial to understanding even the basic ideas behind how students learn is the taxonomy created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. Lorin Anderson led a group of cognitive psychologists in the 1990s who revised and updated the classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. Moving students from remembering and understanding to evaluating and creating is the ultimate goal. The ability to think critically using quantitative methods, communicate effectively, and lead and follow holding to our societal ethics can be learned and we should model these skills as we impart them to our students. Dr. Bob Noyd will be covering this topic in depth at the workshop planned for March 23 at 9:05 a.m. in the Spindletop Room. The Higher Education Teaching and Learning Portal is now accepting submissions on the major theme of University 2.0. They are looking for submissions for the peer-reviewed electronic journal with an open time line. We are happy to welcome Rezvan Khoshlessan to the Center as a graduate assistant. Rezvan is currently pursuing an Ed.D. in educational leadership and brings a wealth of teaching experience with her. Dr. Lee Burdette Williams writes, “Our students are different people late at night. In our classrooms and offices during the day or the library or practice rooms in the evening, they are smart, charming, ambitious, clear-headed and reasonably nice to one another. But like a collegiate version of Teen Wolf, as the clock ticks closer to midnight, they become unrecognizable to us.” This is one of the topics that Dr. Rebecca Cox will be discussing when she visits LU on April 15.
