Students curious about their learning

Curious Aggies

Centering Undergraduate Voices

Curious Aggies is a research initiative that encourages students to share their experiences as learners in order to include students’ voices in conversations about how their learning is assessed. We believe that student-led research is important because it ensures that data about students is analyzed by students. Student-led research makes it possible for undergraduates to contribute to create change that will benefit our learning.

Teacher articulating goals

What do you expect students to learn?

Articulate expectations 

The process of developing learning outcomes invites faculty to reflect on, and then translate, that embodied disciplinary knowledge into clear expectations for students in their majors. We wouldn't want to leave something as important as student learning and success to guesswork.  

Educational equity depends on individual and collective capacity to reflect on, and clearly articulate, learning goals for students.
