The field of learning sciences has revealed fascinating, and often unexpected, information about the process of learning. This course aims to guide students to investigate theories of learning and to help them begin to apply these concepts to their own learning. In the second half of the semester, we will investigate learning in social settings and discuss important factors to consider when supporting others' learning. Students will critically evaluate issues within educational systems that may positively or negatively influence learning. This course will be most applicable to students with a STEM major, as most of the discussion will focus on examples of learning topics in science and math. Many topics will focus on issues specific to learning in the sciences, including \"math anxiety\", \"science identity\", and \"integrating scientific practices and concepts\".
