IN THEIR OWN WORDS – HOW STUDENT RESPONSES TO OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS CAN IMPROVE GERONTOLOGY EDUCATION
Abstract In gerontology education, we know that there are many benefits to assigning students open-ended questions. They allow students to think more critically and can lead to a better understanding of course concepts. Student responses can also help us identify gerontology topics that are not well understood or need reinforcement, as well as topics that can generate interesting in-class discussions. Examining students’ answers can help us fill the gaps in current gerontology education and improve our teaching practices. In this lecture, I will share how I have used content analysis to examine students’ responses from several assignments, and how I have modified lectures and assignments in response. In addition, I will share how I have added some of these assignments to our general education gerontology courses to help students challenge ageist beliefs and acquire an appreciation for gerontology.
期刊介绍:
Innovation in Aging, an interdisciplinary Open Access journal of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), is dedicated to publishing innovative, conceptually robust, and methodologically rigorous research focused on aging and the life course. The journal aims to present studies with the potential to significantly enhance the health, functionality, and overall well-being of older adults by translating scientific insights into practical applications. Research published in the journal spans a variety of settings, including community, clinical, and laboratory contexts, with a clear emphasis on issues that are directly pertinent to aging and the dynamics of life over time. The content of the journal mirrors the diverse research interests of GSA members and encompasses a range of study types. These include the validation of new conceptual or theoretical models, assessments of factors impacting the health and well-being of older adults, evaluations of interventions and policies, the implementation of groundbreaking research methodologies, interdisciplinary research that adapts concepts and methods from other fields to aging studies, and the use of modeling and simulations to understand factors and processes influencing aging outcomes. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across various disciplines, such as technology, engineering, architecture, economics, business, law, political science, public policy, education, public health, social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, and the humanities and arts, reflecting a holistic approach to advancing knowledge in gerontology.
