Book Recommendation to Increase Student Retention & Enhance Active Learning (James Lang "Small Teaching"
I highly recommend James M. Lang's "Small Teaching," a well-researched, highly useful book for boosting active learning in higher education courses. Lang describes in detail how to increase learning and student motivation by making small changes in lectures, discussions, and group interactions. From self-explaining techniques to interleaving, Lang clearly covers tweaking your teaching techniques and using practical strategies that work. In this clear, no-nonsense book, you'll discover small and big teaching activities that Lang and other prominent educators are using to create dynamic learning environments.
