Designing Dynamic Learning Sessions: An Element of Empowering Educational Activities (Capabilities that Contribute to Social Transformation) (Volume 1)

When you plan classes or a workshop are you focused on what you want to teach, or on what you want the students to be able to do with that knowledge? Probably on both! Although we often assume that students will learn what we teach, focusing on what they need in order to acquire certain capabilities can help us to teach even more effectively. Designing Dynamic Learning Sessions presents a methodology that helps us to do just that. By planning activities based on a learning cycle, which includes experience, reflection, conceptualization and application, we capture the interest of students, help them to connect new knowledge with what they already know and to understand and apply what they have studied. The use of a variety of participatory activities involving different types of intelligence leads to deeper learning.
