Promoting Student Engagement and Understanding Through the Use of Thinking Routines, presented by Ron Ritchart, Harvard University
Getting students to actively engage with course material in thoughtful and substantive ways is fundamental to the development of understanding. But how do we create situations in the university classroom to accomplish this goal? How do we infuse the presentation of material with opportunities for deeper reflection on that material? In addition, how to do we provoke students to think about and question what they are learning? One strategy is through the use of thinking routines, simple structures that invite students to think about the content before them. These strategies can be easily woven into the classroom so that an expectation for meaning making, active engagement, reflection, and questioning become a part of the culture of the classroom.
