Consider these exciting opportunities!

EDP 110A: Meaningful Learning and Engagement: From Learning to Innovation (1 unit)
MWF 9-9:50, 1/13-2/17/16
This course is one in a three course series on meaningful learning and engagement at the college level. The overall purpose of this series is to introduce students to theories of learning, motivation, and identity development from an Educational Psychology perspective. Students will explore how these theories describe and explain aspects of their own academic lives. Students will also have the opportunity to actively develop their skills for engaging in meaningful learning and participation within their university communities. The focus of this course is to examine the relationship between knowledge and learning and explore the topics of curiosity, knowledge construction, and strategic thinking.

EDP 110B: Meaningful Learning and Engagement: Motivation and Volition (1 unit)
MWF 9-9:50, 2/19-3/30/16
This course is one in a three course series on meaningful learning and engagement at the college level. The overall purpose of this series is to introduce students to theories of learning, motivation, and identity development from an Educational Psychology perspective. Students will explore how these theories describe and explain aspects of their own academic lives. Students will also have the opportunity to actively develop their skills for engaging in meaningful learning and participation within their university communities. The focus of this course is to introduce the constructs of motivation (within an expectancy-value tradition) and volition (mechanisms related to sustaining efforts and realizing academic goals). Further, students will investigate strategies to support realistic self-evaluation of academic goals and engagement.

If you have questions, feel free to contact the instructor, Dr. Heidi Burross, at heidi at email.arizona.edu (mailto:heidi at email.arizona.edu) .
