Session Type:
Professional Development
Learn how Wentworth Institute of Technology's first-year architecture curriculum situates 21st-century learners in an environment that meets the increased challenges of project-based learning. Design education provides experiential learning using the city as a learning laboratory for engagement with real-world problems. Explore the challenges inherent in this experiential design education approach, which promotes student motivation and assessment, as well as the lessons learned that shape recommendations for lesson planning. Leave with an introduction to Kolb's experiential learning cycle and an action plan to construct multiple ways of learning for different types of learners.
Outcomes: Experience Kolb's experiential learning cycle through the session design * Reflect on and compare participants' project-based learning experiences with Wentworth's case * Create an action plan to construct multiple ways of learning for different types of learners
