Description: There is a robust body of evidence-based literature regarding high-impact practices in teaching and learning, but educational practice often remains relatively unchanged. In this presentation we will investigate an innovative strategy for facilitating change in educational practices through complex systems theory. Conceptualizations of learning are complex systems from which practices are emergent. Just as thoughts lead to actions, conceptualizations lead to practices. One conceptualization of learning leads to a particular set of practices, while another conceptualization leads to a completely different set of practices. Therefore, impacting change in educational practices involves changing conceptualizations of learning. After successful completion of this event, participants will be able to: • Evaluate assumptions in different conceptualizations of learning • Develop strategies to implement evidence-based high-impact practices through shifting conceptualizations of learning
