Details: Dr. Patricia M. King is a Professor of Higher Education in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. In this speech, Prof. Patricia King plans to introduce major concepts of human development in late adolescence and adulthood, and to then show how faculty can use these principles and concepts to understand student learning and to help students gain fuller, more complex understanding of course topics and their studies.
In the workshop, Prof. King would first offer a more detailed process for adapting human development principles to their own teaching settings, then give audience opportunities to apply these to their own academic disciplines, administrative areas (for example, if student affairs staff are included) and to the students they teach. During this time, participants with common interests (e.g., by discipline or type of course taught) could work in teams to practice using these strategies.
