The Arqus Alliance invites teachers to participate in the third online teaching innovation workshop devoted to the theme “Explore first: Drawn on experience to gain a deeper understanding”. The online workshop will take place on 22nd September from 15:00 to 17:00 CEST.
This third workshop is framed in the Arqus Online Workshop Series on Teaching Innovation aimed at supporting teachers in promoting innovative teaching approaches for more effective and engaged student learning in multiple contexts, in and outside the classroom.
“Explore First” is a pedagogical model that strives to make the student the leading actor in their learning in scenarios where digital action is merged with face-to-face activity. The purpose is for students, working in small groups, first explore a topic using their prior knowledge to consider possible solutions. By struggling, the students gain a deeper understanding of the structure of the problem and its elements. Then, students explain the best answer.
