From Research to Practice: Connecting Principles of 'Smart Teaching' to Emergency Preparedness and Beyond
09/18/2012
Who do you depend on to help in a disaster? Firefighters? Health Department? Search and Rescue? In a disaster, you count on numerous trained professionals.
Are we training our emergency preparedness workers in an optimal way? Interdisciplinary researchers at the University of Minnesota: Simulations, Exercises and Effective Education Preparedness and Emergency Response Research and Learning Centers (U-SEEE PERRC and PERL) have collaborated to research this question. Converging with the Centers search for effective and efficient training methodologies is the work of Dr. Susan Ambrose. Ambrose has extensively researched teaching and learning, integrating fundamental research in psychology and cognitive science with practical application. Ambrose will briefly describe seven research-based principles that underlie how learning works, and connect them to approaches that maximize learning. Come and learn how Smart Teaching applies to you!
