Encouraging Critical Thinking: Using Innoculation Messaging to Promote Metaliteracy in the Classroom and Beyond

Date: October 10, 2018
Actual Time: 12:40-2:10pm
Location: DCAL
 

Workshop description:
Metaliteracy is a pedagogical model that sees learning as a collaborative and
active process of dialogue, thoughtful reflection, and critical thinking--not
as the passive accumulation of facts and simple skills. In this session, Josh
Compton, Associate Professor in the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric, will
lead a discussion on how inoculation theory--a theory of persuasion and
information processing--overlaps with key objectives of the metaliteracy
model. Participants will learn--and help to develop--practical strategies for
describing assignments, assessing student work, and engaging in other learning
activities in ways that encourage and teach critical thinking. Lunch will be
served.
