Changing real world behaviours through instructional activities
The university is inextricably connected to the wider world through the influence that its students will exert throughout their lives. This connection is captured in the graduate attributes set out by universities and is realized through behavioral changes arising from university education. Behavioral change is complex, involving knowledge acquisition, attitudes development and a range of other factors. Using environmental sustainability as an example we will consider models of behavioral change and related instructional activities. Participants will experience activities designed for an environmental sciences context, evaluate these activities, and then develop interactive activities for generating behavioral change in their own contexts.
