https://www.asbmb.org/meetings-events/2020-annual-meeting/constructing-authentic-learning-experiences

A variety of factors, including individual emotions and the composition of the learning environment, can affect student learning in #STEM fields. #ASBMBEducation #ASBMB2020 https://www.asbmb.org/meetings-events/2020-annual-meeting/constructing-authentic-learning-experiences

This virtual session explores the roles of two emotional components in education: motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) as a driver for lifelong learning and confidence as a foundation for effective communication. #ASBMBEducation #ASBMB2020

It also examines the incorporation of hands-on elements, such as genuine research experiences & demonstrations with models, to promote knowledge retention and metacognition. These studies are important for implementing evidence-based practices proven to promote student learning.

The next tweets in this thread list the talks that will be included in this virtual event! #ASBMBEducation #ASBMB2020
