The Value of a Nugget

JSME Vol 7: Issue 3, 2011

Author(s): Kirk Plangger, Nick Facey and Michael Parent (Simon Fraser University - SFU, Canada)

Abstract:
University professors face many demands but are primarily responsible for student learning in their classes. This paper proposes and discusses a novel teaching tool, Nugget Notes, which assists instructors in checking knowledge, and students with crystallizing learning. The100-word Nugget Note challenges students to engage with course material, synthesize pertinent information, and apply that knowledge to a real life situation or problem. An exploratory student and instructor survey supports the primary learning goals of Nugget Notes.

Keywords: Knowledge Literacy, Engagement, Application, Synthesis, Teaching Tools
