Making Active Learning Practical

Summary

This poster presents the outcomes of my efforts to make active learning activities an integral component of undergraduate courses in archaeology. For the past three years I have taken my Southeastern Archaeology course from a typical lecture-based class to a more active learning environment that includes hands-on lab activities, participation in fieldwork, field trips to archaeological sites, and service learning opportunities at our campus museum and local research station of the Arkansas Archeological Survey. Beyond assessing learning outcomes, I discuss practical challenges and lessons learned from implementing these measures with limited resources at a mid-sized teaching institution in which I am the sole archaeologist.
