EMS Education Program Director and Faculty Hawkeye Community College Ely, Iowa
Description: Attendees of this session will be presented with teaching strategies drawn from recent developments in cognitive psychology and memory theory. These evidence-based strategies are more effective than some of outdated, widely used methods that do not actually enhance learning. Some specific examples will include: better use of skills practice, harnessing the power of metacognition, and using failure as a powerful tool for learning.
Learning Objectives:
Define learning.
Define metacognition, and give examples of how to use it for better studying,
Explain the relationship between memory and learning.
Explain the difference between summative and formative evaluations.
Describe how to integrate practice effectively in EMS training and education.
