Transforming Higher Education: From Passive Learning to Active Partnership

On Let's Talk ED this week, I (Zahi Atallah) delve into how we can fix higher education by focusing on the student's classroom experience. I bring up the need to move away from the outdated concept of students acting like sponges, merely absorbing information and performing mundane administrative tasks. Instead, I advocate for students to be allowed to become active partners in their learning journey.

The importance of moving away from the autopilot approach to teaching by actively seeking and incorporating student feedback cannot be emphasized enough. Most importantly, I stress the necessity of setting high standards (raising the bar) for our students and providing them with the tools and support they need to achieve these goals. Drawing on Prof. Carol Dweck's concept of a growth mindset, this video refocuses the conversation on strategies for creating a more engaging and effective educational environment.

We’d love to hear from you. So please share your thoughts.
