AALS thanks BARBRI Global for its support of this session.
Legal education and support are often
described as entrenched in traditional methods of teaching and assessing
student learning. Pedagogical considerations in law school classrooms and law
school support systems rarely include a focus on how learning and motivation
theory, and their practical applications, can positively impact the law student
experience. In this session, participants will learn how to apply learning and
motivation principles in the law school, with the overall goal of maximizing
student learning and engagement, including a focus on self-regulation, goal
setting, self-evaluation, cognitive load, emotions, and self-efficacy.
