It is paramount that educators cultivate learning environments in which the students are active participants but we also have an obligation to help students understand that, ultimately, they are responsible for their own learning.
- It is our responsibility to...
- ...explain the motivation for our course structure and methodologies and garner buy-in by providing them with evidence that, if they invest the appropriate time and effort practicing with these techniques, they will improve and are much more likely to be successful.
- ...guide students through carefully designed learning sequences, showing them how to use the information and tools.
- ...teach them what it means to be metacognitive and help them practice their metacognition as frequently as possible.
- ...provide them with ample opportunities to practice for the assessments, using the appropriate contexts, and provide meaningful feedback on their performances.
- ...utilize the materials, techniques, and methodologies that we promised frequently and on a regular basis and to not cave - even [especially] in the face of students' lack of preparation. (See "DAY 1".)
- But we cannot make them learn.
