校内各教学单位：

学校于2017年5月15日—6月2日期间开展“2017年吉林大学国际课程周”活动，来自肯塔基大学、加拿大女王大学的专业教师为我校本科生开设通识类课程。教师教学发展中心特地邀请两位教授为我校教师做教学工作坊。

一、工作坊主题1：Initiatives at University of Kentucky to develop self-regulated Students

主讲人：Rita Basuray

主讲内容：This workshop will start with an explanation of the steps taken at the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) of the University of Kentucky (UK) to identify and then help freshmen students who are overwhelmed by many demands of College. Do students know how to study? Are they putting enough effort to understand assigned topics? Does collaborative-learning help? What can we do to cultivate self-motivated students? Are theoretical measures of learning (exams) better than practical measures of learning (hands-on application exercises)? Then, based on results of a survey sent to JLU teachers, we will break-up into teams to identify JLU teacher’s needs and concerns. Finally, I will seek collaborations with JLU teachers to expand questions raised at A&S/UK and analyze if our concerns and solutions across the globe are similar or different.

二、工作坊主题2：Creating high performance student teams in a collaborative environment

主讲人：Scott Yost

主讲内容：The topic tends to be more teaming and project based learning, with collaborative learning as a way to fill in the knowledge gaps. Let me give you context. Every semester I do a 2-3 hour workshop with the graduating seniors on the first day of their final semester. The goal of this workshop is to give the students a “push” toward establishing a high performing team. Our capstone design course is a project based, team based, collaborative learning environment. In fact I did a mini version of this workshop in my JLU class two years ago and I plan to do it again this time as well. The students at JLU found it to be one of the highlights of the class. The course is not strictly collaborative learning (in the strict definition), but it a partnership of guided instruction (as needed by the instructor), team and project based learning (to complete the semester long design project), and collaborative learning (filling in the knowledge gaps).

So during the workshop we do the following:

Establish teams

Define teaming and project based learning

Identify characteristics of high performance teams

Perform various team building activities (to establish student bonding and develop trust)

Students create accountability policies and layout collaborative expectations

Effective team communication, perceptions and realities

The workshop is about 1/3 information, and 2/3 hands on activities to illustrate principals and bonding. Through these activities, which I have been doing for about 10 years, we actually have a paper and data that shows how students working in a productive collaboration and team environment can collectively outperform the best individual of the team.
