| Affective Means Effective: Strategies for Increasing Emotional Arousal in Classrooms |
| Arousing attitudes, feelings, or emotions has been shown to increase information retention and better engage learners. If students remember 80% of what they experience (rather than just hear or see), shouldn’t we present more information in an experiential format? In this hands-on session, participants will watch and/or participate in strategies geared toward the affective domain, and learn how teaching to the affective domain can help students better understand lessons taught in the secondary health classroom. |
