A Student-Centered Guest Lecturing: A Constructivism Approach to Promote Student Engagement
Li, Lei; Guo, Rong
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v15 Oct 2015
Student engagement has become a big challenge in higher education, especially when distance learning is getting more and more popular. Guest lecturing is a popular method to bring relevance to the classroom and engage in students. Ground on the theory of constructivism, this paper introduces a student-centered guest lecturing that allows students to work in team and participate in each step of process, such as preparation, interviewing, and reflection. Our pilot study showed that the proposed approach can effectively engage in students. The research methodology and plan are presented and the implications of the study are discussed.
