Recommended Video:聽 Rethinking Learning presented by Dr. Sanjay Sarma, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and hosted by McGill University, Office of Science Education.
The way we teach today is based on practices handed down to us that are historical rather than scientific in their evolution. Dr. Sarma presented a series of facts about learning from the scientific literature and argued that the way we teach today is neither optimal nor sustainable. He discussed the history of the science in the field of pedagogy, and opportunities to reinvent pedagogy. He offers suggestions on how higher education can reinvent its practices for the post-COVID world.
