| Project Summary | Psychology involves the study of human behaviour. One behaviour that is of interest to virtually all UBC undergraduates is learning. There is a wealth of previous psychological research on correlates and predictors of successful learning, and on the benefits and limitations of different student approaches to learning. However, this research is typically unknown to students, likely due to lack of explicit instruction on learning, as well as many barriers that can prevent students from accessing academic research. The objective of this TLEF is a Canvas Module on “What Science Can Tell You About How To Be Successful in University”, available for use by any UBC instructor. This module will present a host of high-utility research-supported approaches to successful learning, via short, entertaining accessible video clips. The module will also include pre- and post-video reflections, to aid students in considering how they might adapt their current approaches given the evidence provided. |
