The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion
Sarah Rose Cavanaugh, Ph.D.
Associate Director of Assumption College’s Center for Teaching Excellence and author of “The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion.”
Session Description:
Traditional views of education assume that reason should reign over emotion, and that the classroom should be a quiet, dispassionate space where students and instructors impartially engage with facts, figures and theories. However, the field of education is beginning to awaken to the power of emotions to capture attention, mobilize efforts, and enhance memory.
In this keynote address and interactive workshop, Cavanaugh will bring to bear a wide range of evidence from the study of education, psychology, and neuroscience to suggest that targeting emotions in your presentation style, course design, and assignments is a highly potent teaching strategy.
