Unlearning to Learn:
What the Science of Learning Teaches Us About Pedagogy
If active learning is concretely proven to be more effective than passive learning, why is it still not standard practice in higher education?
When we built Minerva University, we designed an evidence-based pedagogical approach, Fully Active Learning, based on decades of research in the learning science. In this book excerpt, we share:
- 16 principles based on the science of learning that underpin our pedagogical approach.
- Strategies for overcoming common challenges to implementing Fully Active Learning.
White Paper
A Systematic Approach to Authentic Assessment
As a university leader, how do you shift from assessing progress in each course individually, to assessing learning across the curriculum? Are you measuring the acquisition of knowledge or the application of it? Does assessment reform fall solely on faculty?
In Minerva’s white paper, you’ll learn:
- How to assess specific, measurable learning outcomes
- Why multidimensional assessment matters
- How to make assessment a collective institutional effort
- How technology should enable the assessment system
