Project #3 Proposal
Problem: Too often students have to sit through classes that they don’t care about, and or pay attention when not in the mood to learn. Students with ADD and ADHD suffer the most, not being able to sit through lectures without spacing out. AT WCU students are expected to sit through lectures and try to retain everything a professor says, then get tested on if they were paying attention during those lectures.
Solution: I believe that if WCU were to enforce more interactive classes and have students take part in the reverse classroom concept. This will allow students to be invested in the class rather than spacing out and missing information. Student will learn/teach in their own ways and get graded accordingly.
- Allow students to teach themselves in a way that is beneficial to them since every person is different.
- This would support both Percy and Freire theories on letting students take charge of their education
- Having more interactive classes rather than lectures would keep students involved rather than zoning out and not retaining information just being told to them.
- Students with mental health issues retaining to attention will allow students to learn and grasp more concepts hands on.
