CTLR to screen video
J. Ronald Gentile, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology in the Graduate School of Education, will host a screening of the video "A Private Universe" from 1-2:30 p.m. tomorrow in 120 Clemens Hall, North Campus.
The screening is sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning Resources (CTLR).
"A Private Universe" showcases many of the misconceptions that students, as well as the general public, hold regarding scientific concepts. After participants view the video, Gentile will lead a discussion about the issues raised, including the difficulty people have in letting go of prior misconceptions and the general problem of teaching for transfer and understanding.
The presentation is free, but registration is required and may be made online at the CTLR Web site at http://wings.buffalo.edu/ctlr or by contacting Lisa Francescone at lcf@buffalo.edu or 645-7328.
