STEM Teaching Methods That Work
An Inside Higher Ed Webinar
Wednesday, March 13, 2:00-3:00 p.m. Eastern
Register with Promo Code AACU313 and save $50
Numerous surveys and reports have documented that far too many college students either fail or become bored with science and technology courses, abandoning plans to major in STEM fields.
On Wednesday, March 13 at 2 p.m. EST, Inside Higher Ed presents STEM Teaching Methods That Work, a webinar featuring Steve Benton, senior research officer at the IDEA Center. Steve will explore the relationship between teaching methods and learning objectives in STEM education. The idea behind this analysis is that the right approach to learning objectives and teaching methods could lead to meaningful improvements in STEM education.
Among the topics to be covered:
- Which learning objectives are emphasized in STEM classes?
- How much learning are students reporting on those learning objectives?
- Which teaching methods might be employed to support greater student learning?
- What are student and course characteristics in STEM courses?
- How can this analysis be used to improve the success and learning of students enrolled in STEM courses?
The webinar will consist of a 30-minute presentation and a 30-minute question period. There is no conference call required for this event— the entire presentation, including audio, is delivered via the web. Your registration entitles you to one connection to the event—you may gather as many colleagues as you like to view the presentation via one monitor, but only one connection per registration will be allowed. This event will be captioned for the deaf and hard of hearing by StreamText Access.
The registration cost is $149 if you register online with the Promo Code AACU313.

The program is ideal for STEM faculty, deans, academic administrators, curriculum development officials, teaching and learning experts, academic advisors and student affairs officials.
The Presenter is Steve Benton, a senior research officer at the IDEA Center. At the IDEA Center, Mr. Benton designs and conducts reliability and validity studies.
Mr. Benton is a fellow in the American Psychological Association and American Educational Research Association, as well as an emeritus professor of special education, counseling, and student affairs at Kansas State University. He serves on the editorial boards of The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Review, and The Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied, Contemporary Educational Psychology and Educational Psychology Review.
