Pedagogy in the Undergraduate Archaeology Classroom
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Pedagogy in the Undergraduate Archaeology Classroom" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
For many students, the college or university classroom will be one of the first places they learn about archaeology as a field of study. Archaeological coursework prepares new anthropologists and archaeologists before they engage in fieldwork, lab work, and deeper study and helps potential future archaeologists to decide if the field is right for them. It also provides the college-educated public with an opportunity to engage with the human past, as well as to better understand what we do and why it is important. Thus, the work we do in the undergraduate classroom is some of the most important work we can do to shape the future of the field. This symposium brings together archaeologist educators teaching at all levels in two- and four-year institutions. Papers will explore evidence-based, innovative, and creative techniques for educating and engaging with a variety of student populations.
