Enhancing Learning: Active Strategies in Understanding Eastern Africa

This presentation explores Active Learning techniques and their benefits through a focused exercise on Eastern Africa. Led by Dr. Shawn Alderman, Dr. Jason Ferguson, and Dr. Garrett Meyers, participants will engage in a dynamic learning environment emphasizing collaboration and participation. Key elements of Active Learning, such as varied approaches and the necessity for safety and engagement, will be highlighted. Expect interactive group exercises, including a geography quiz using mnemonics to better remember country characteristics. Join us to deepen your understanding of neuroscience and learning strategies in a fun and approachable way!

  35. Group Exercise

  36. Group Exercise Instructions Teamwork: • Develop a method (e.g., mnemonic) for remembering the name, location and characteristic for each country • Be ready to apply this knowledge to a quiz

  37. Example Mnemonic: Malawi Mal = Bad

  38. Group Exercise Instructions Teamwork: • Develop a method (e.g., mnemonic) for remembering the name, location and characteristic for each country • Be ready to apply this knowledge to a quiz

  39. Team Geography Quiz

  40. Jeopardy Demo • When the country flashes on the screen the first team has 15 seconds to call out the country and the attribute. • If the team misses, the next team has 10 additional seconds to “steal” it by calling out the country and attribute.
