What I have learned: I’ve learned that adult learners thrive when they have control over their learning through Active and Cooperative strategies. Moving away from a "lecture-only" approach to a lab-focused environment ensures students are more accountable and better prepared for the teamwork required in healthcare.
How I intend to apply it: I will design my lab sessions to prioritize active experimentation and peer learning. Instead of just demonstrating a skill, I will use hands-on troubleshooting scenarios to encourage students to solve technical problems together. I also plan to group students by their learning styles—pairing visual learners with kinesthetic ones—to help them master difficult material through collaborative practice.
