Engaging Seminarians with Mind, Brain, and Education Strategies
Proposal abstract :
As a theological educator in worship, I engage students in multiple modalities and contexts in and outside the classroom. The traditional "sage on the stage" model has a limited impact on student learning in these modalities. After researching pedagogical practices, I encountered Mind, Brain, and Education, an interdisciplinary field that uses research in neurology, neuroscience, psychology, learning theory, and other disciplines. In this project, I will increase my understanding of MBE and apply it to my current pedagogical practices. I will accomplish my goals by taking courses at the Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning and a graduate certificate in MBE at Johns Hopkins University. Regular meetings with a mentor will assist me in integrating my learning and assessing my accomplishments. I will share my knowledge with colleagues at a faculty meeting and in-service training. Finally, I will share it with the broader community through the Wabash blog and article submission.
