Creating a Natural Critical Learning Environment: Year II of the Vision Project

TL;DRAbstract

For two years a team of STEM faculty at FSU have been engaged in a course redesign based on Ken Bain's conception of the Natural Critical Learning Environment. While the specific application of this approach is to STEM courses, with the intention of increasing student interest, retention and performance in STEM areas, the approach itself is widely applicable to all disciplines. We will report on our creative ideas, our pedagogical experiments, the challenges and successes, and student reactions and outcomes, and how this approach has changed us as educators.
