Episode 112: Learner-Centered Teaching: Encouraging Students to Do the Work of Learning with Dr. Terry Doyle

Description:

In episode 112 of the Lecture Breakers podcast, Dr. Terry Doyle joins us as we kick off season 3!

One of my favorite quotes about active learning and teaching is, “The one who does the work does the learning.” I first read this quote in graduate school I think and it shifted my whole perspective about what it means to teach. 

The quote is from Dr. Terry Doyle in his book Learner-Centered Teaching: Putting the Research on Learning Into Practice*. And he’s our guest on the show today!

In this episode, we talk about:

• how to design learning experiences based on cognitive science and neuroscience. 
  
  
• how to help get students on board with active learning and see the value of the approach.
  
  
• how to address distractions and help students focus.
