Pedagogical Principles
Socratic Case- Based Learning
This method combines the
traditional Socratic method
with modern team-based
learning. Students will prepare
by reading case studies
beforehand and engage in
dynamic, guided group
discussions. This approach
fosters critical thinking and
collaborative problem-solving,
with Medina Teaching
Assistants (TAs) facilitating
discussions to ensure all
viewpoints are considered and
integrated into the learning
experience.
Pragmatic Action Learning
Pragmatic Action Learning emphasizes applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Participants will engage in practical, at-home assignments both before and after sessions, encouraging continuous learning and application of concepts. This hands-on approach ensures that theoretical knowledge is translated into actionable skills, preparing participants to directly implement strategies in their practices.
Dynamic Remote Collaboration
Leveraging the flexibility of remote learning platforms, this principle focuses on high-touchpoint strategies through virtual classrooms. Utilizing tools like Zoom and asynchronous engagement, this approach incorporates live discussions, breakout rooms, and ongoing communication channels such as chat groups and forums. This setup promotes continuous interaction and engagement, ensuring a cohesive learning community despite geographical distances.
