Regardless of subject area or discipline, helping students think, process, and apply well is helping them succeed ACADEMICALLY. Helping students interact, collaborate, and communicate clearly, is helping them succeed SOCIALLY. Helping students manage their time, manage their team/group work with others, and meet deadlines and goals, is helping them PROFESSIONALLY.

how can academic settings inspire, develop, and grow empathy? This can be achieved through methods for managing the classroom and the learning activities being shared. Instructors can model empathy and also design activities that require active listening and perception-sharing among students. One great way to stimulate empathetic responses is to encourage students to “replay” or restate what another student has said, to check for accuracy, before responding.

Or, when students “assume” what another is saying, rather than checking for accuracy.

Questioning encourages students to think beyond what they are learning and explore new ideas, new trends, and gain new knowledge.

 

Many educators are currently debating the benefits and challenges of online learning due to the rise in its use over this past year. Students are bored, frustrated, and completing less work when they are virtually learning. Educators need to address the learning process and benefits in order to truly provide an engaging experience for students.
