Creating Wicked Students
This episode will explore the pedagogy of "Creating Wicked Students" used by the Wicked Initiatives at Radford University. In an interview with Prof. Paul Hanstedt, learn more about how the curriculum is designed to present students with “wicked problems” to help them prepare them for life after college. Beginning with the assumption that what we all want for our students is that they be capable of changing the world….When a student leaves college, we want them to enter the world not as drones participating mindlessly in activities to which they’ve been appointed, but as thinking, deliberative beings who add something to society.”
