Learners are Lazy - Faculty Resist Renewal

 

Some say university students today are lazy … and that problem is holding back progress.

Others say higher education faculty resist progress in favor of dog-eared traditions … placing universities in danger of losing their relevancy.bored.jpg

What do you say?

Consider what we now know about the human brain compared to current college practices:

1.
Lectures work against the human brain.
2.
Learning involves constant action.
3.
Two-footed questions reboot the brain.
4.
Multiple intelligence strategies improve learning.
5.
Personality and genetics impact learning outcomes.

I say most learners are not lazy and few faculty resist relevant improvements … if  engaged in a successful change process.

It’s a good thing too … because businesses and universities are forming increasing alliances … that depend on alert students ... and forward thinking faculty.

Is it happening at your alma matter?
