Centering Questions to Foster Intrinsic Motivation

Facilitator: Dr. Jérémie O. Lumbroso, Practice Assistant Professor, Computer & Information Science
Convener: Jessica Shi, CETLI Fellow, Computer & Information Science

In this workshop, we discuss the “Questions First” teaching philosophy of Prof. Jérémie Lumbroso. Centering student questions has many benefits, including helping students build their confidence and critical thinking skills, as well as naturally helping make attendance to class seem valuable. We explore concrete strategies for enacting such a philosophy — with considerations such as creating an inquiry-friendly environment, using technology to collect questions and promote interactive learning, and adjusting teaching in real-time based on student understanding.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Computer & Information Science department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.

Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.
