Reconceptualizing a College Science Learning Experience in the New Digital Era: A Review of Literature

摘要: Despite all the exciting new digital forms of living, our college science education remains relatively unchanged. Students sit quietly in large classrooms listening to lectures (or not), complete individual labs following cookbook instruction, and take exams only solve problems no practical importance. It is time reconceptualize a learning experience for students. In this chapter, we review research on technology-enriched instruction assessments at level that target students’ 21st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration. We propose three interrelated core principles can help design coherent curriculum, meet needs era: (1) Set development lifelong students top priority; (2) incorporate multi-layered instructional supports using technologies; (3) demonstrate facilitate their growth capacity.
