Research on learning and cognition in geoscience education research
and other discipline-based education communities suggests that
effective instruction should include three key components: a)
activation of students' prior knowledge on the subject, b) an
active learning pedagogy that allows students to address any
existing misconceptions and then build a new understanding of the
concept, and c) metacognitive reflections that require students to
evaluate their own learning processes during the lesson. This
Element provides an overview of the research on student-centered
pedagogy in introductory geoscience and paleontology courses and
gives examples of these instructional approaches. Student-centered
learning shifts the power and attention in a classroom from the
instructor to the students. In a student-centered classroom,
students are in control of their learning experience and the
instructor functions primarily as a guide. Student-centered
classrooms trade traditional lecture for conceptually-oriented
tasks, collaborative learning activities, new technology,
inquiry-based learning, and metacognitive reflection.
