From Theory to Practice: Improving Student

Learning with Desirable Difficulties

Dr. Mary Blythe Daniels

Our understanding of how people learn is growing. So as

teachers we are left to struggle with how to translate theory

and research on student learning into implementable practice.

The purpose of this talk is to share information and ideas

about how we can use existing research on the importance of

the learner’s struggle. “Desirable difficulties” or the practice of

creating a situation that initially makes learning more difficult

for students has been shown to increase student performance

and long-term retention. However, asking students to

negotiate frustration and confusion also brings about

challenges for faculty and students alike. In this session we

will generate teaching strategies that ask learners to struggle as

well as articulate approaches for managing student resistance

to desirable difficulties.

Dr. Mary Blythe Daniels recently co-authored A Concise

Guide to Improving Student Learning: Six Evidence-Based

Principles and How to Apply Them (with Diane Persellin,

Stylus Press, 2014). She has been for twelve years a facilitator

at the Associated Colleges of the South Summer Teaching and

Learning Workshop. In addition, she has also led workshops

for faculty and faculty developers at Macalester College and

the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities(2015-16). Her

teaching has received recognition at the national level when

she was named the 2015 Carnegie Foundation for the

Advancement of Teaching Kentucky Professor of the Year. She

has also been awarded the National Endowment of the

Humanities Professorship (2004-2007) and the Kirk Award

for Excellence in Teaching (2006) by Centre College, where

she is Professor of Spanish. This year she is serving as the

college's inaugural Teaching Fellow for the Center for Teaching

and Learning (2015). Daniels is also active as a scholar of

Spanish Golden Age theatre. She earned her B.A. at the

University of North Carolina at Greensboro, completed an

M.A. at the University of Wisconsin, and received a Ph.D. from

the University of Kentucky in 1996.

2016 Certificate of Reflective Teaching

The Certificate of Reflective Teaching provides instructors the opportunity to learn pedagogical skills and information about teaching not necessarily gained during formal training in graduate school. Instructors gain recognition for their efforts to become more intentional, reflective teachers who incorporate best practices in teaching. Faculty members also benefit from the opportunity to foster relationships with other faculty members outside of their home departments who are dedicated to improving their teaching.

Thank a Teacher

The NC State Thank a Teacher program was created in Fall 2010 to give students the opportunity to thank NC State instructors who have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact on their students’ lives. The program continues to grow. In 2015, the Office of Faculty Development received over 750 submissions from students.

Present on their proposed project on the final

day of the Institute

their study

Office of Faculty Development

The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) was established as part of

the Office of the Provost in August 2008. OFD assumed important

functions of the former Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning

and offers programs addressing teaching and learning and other

areas of faculty work, alone or in conjunction with other NC State

offices.

The Office aims to connect faculty members to vital information and

resources while providing the knowledge and skills needed to grow,

excel, and succeed in all realms of faculty responsibility. We strive to

provide resources for all faculty members on campus, regardless of

their discipline or tenure status.

OFD offers a wide variety of programming, including workshops on

topics pertinent to faculty success. Additionally, OFD offers reading

circles, small groups that provide colleagues the opportunity to share

ideas about teaching and learning in an informal setting with peers

from across the university. For participants looking for a more

intensive experience, OFD offers the Certificate of Reflective

Teaching Program, the Peer Coaching Program, the Assistant

Professors Community, and Community Engaged Faculty Fellows.

OFD also facilitates several faculty recognition programs, including

the Thank a Teacher Program and the University Teaching Awards.

Each year, OFD sponsors a Summer Institute, New Faculty

Orientation, and the Teaching and Learning Symposium.
