High-impact practices encourage active learning and collaboration

 

Lizette Miramontes sometimes zones out after 10 minutes of sitting in a lecture. It’s hard to retain the information, then memorize it, take a test and remember it again down the road, she said.

But the way students are learning is changing thanks to high-impact practices — programs and activities to increase student engagement, to foster mentorship and encourage cooperation and teamwork, which have been found to lead to increased graduation rates, GPA and retention.

In two of her courses this year, Miramontes works on collaborative assignments and projects with her classmates. The goal is to work and solve problems together through study groups, team assignments and writing, projects and research.
