Learning Communities Classes
Learning communities involve the intentional
creation of class pairs or clusters around a common theme or concept.
Typically, the same group of students is co-enrolled in two or more courses,
usually from different disciplinesfor instance, history and art, English
and career guidance, political science and philosophy. Students enroll in
both courses but receive a separate grade for each one.
Course instructors integrate their syllabi,
encouraging students to gain a deeper understanding of each course, even as
they discover connections between the two. Classroom activities, tests,
assignments, field trips, research projects, and educational technology are
used to engage students in their own learning, as well as provide them with
valuable "real-world" skills.
Perhaps more importantly, the learning community
model promotes student-centered learning, with an emphasis on an enriched
classroom environment. It promotes greater intellectual growth and genuine
mastery of course content through collaborative activities, frequent
feedback, and increased student-teacher and student-student interactions.
Traditional lecturing is minimized; active learning and thoughtful
integration of content are maximized.
Research indicates learning communities promote
student achievement, retention, and progress toward degree completion.
Faculty benefit from professional development and training, fresh approaches
to teaching, and collaboration with colleagues. Finally, the college profits
from institutional research and development that is intimately tied to
teaching/learning outcomes.
