In this webinar, our invited speakers discussed the experiences of neurodivergent students in STEM courses that use active learning practices with an emphasis on group work.
Based on their research findings, Stephen and Mariel shared how undergraduate student perceptions of group work and their place as neurodivergent students in STEM are influenced by group dynamics, the roles that students take in groups, instructor expectations, and supportive or conflicting approaches to group work among group members.
Invited Speakers:
- Stephen Podowitz-Thomas (Thomas Jefferson University, USA)
- Mariel Pfeifer (University of Mississippi, USA)
This webinar was chaired by Emma Hargreaves, University of Kent, UK.
