Abstract

The purpose of this case study is to explore an experienced geology professor's use of the ICAP framework to increase the amount and level of active learning in his undergraduate geology class. Preliminary results indicate that the course has become more active and constructive compared with previous years through the professor's use of two strategies: scaffolding student notetaking and deliberate use of ICAP verbs to elicit higher ICAP level engagement from his students.
