From Theory to Practice: Improving Student
Learning with Desirable Difficulties
Dr. Mary Blythe Daniels
Our understanding of how people learn is growing. So as
teachers we are left to struggle with how to translate theory
and research on student learning into implementable practice.
The purpose of this talk is to share information and ideas
about how we can use existing research on the importance of
the learner’s struggle. “Desirable difficulties” or the practice of
creating a situation that initially makes learning more difficult
for students has been shown to increase student performance
and long-term retention. However, asking students to
negotiate frustration and confusion also brings about
challenges for faculty and students alike. In this session we
will generate teaching strategies that ask learners to struggle as
well as articulate approaches for managing student resistance
to desirable difficulties.
Dr. Mary Blythe Daniels recently co-authored A Concise
Guide to Improving Student Learning: Six Evidence-Based
Principles and How to Apply Them (with Diane Persellin,
Stylus Press, 2014). She has been for twelve years a facilitator
at the Associated Colleges of the South Summer Teaching and
Learning Workshop. In addition, she has also led workshops
for faculty and faculty developers at Macalester College and
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities(2015-16). Her
teaching has received recognition at the national level when
she was named the 2015 Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching Kentucky Professor of the Year. She
has also been awarded the National Endowment of the
Humanities Professorship (2004-2007) and the Kirk Award
for Excellence in Teaching (2006) by Centre College, where
she is Professor of Spanish. This year she is serving as the
college's inaugural Teaching Fellow for the Center for Teaching
and Learning (2015). Daniels is also active as a scholar of
Spanish Golden Age theatre. She earned her B.A. at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro, completed an
M.A. at the University of Wisconsin, and received a Ph.D. from
the University of Kentucky in 1996.

2016 Certificate of Reflective Teaching
The Certificate of Reflective Teaching provides instructors the opportunity to learn pedagogical skills and information about teaching not necessarily gained during formal training in graduate school. Instructors gain recognition for their efforts to become more intentional, reflective teachers who incorporate best practices in teaching. Faculty members also benefit from the opportunity to foster relationships with other faculty members outside of their home departments who are dedicated to improving their teaching.

Thank a Teacher
The NC State Thank a Teacher program was created in Fall 2010 to give students the opportunity to thank NC State instructors who have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact on their students’ lives. The program continues to grow. In 2015, the Office of Faculty Development received over 750 submissions from students.

Office of Faculty Development
The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) was established as part of
the Office of the Provost in August 2008. OFD assumed important
functions of the former Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning
and offers programs addressing teaching and learning and other
areas of faculty work, alone or in conjunction with other NC State
offices.
The Office aims to connect faculty members to vital information and
resources while providing the knowledge and skills needed to grow,
excel, and succeed in all realms of faculty responsibility. We strive to
provide resources for all faculty members on campus, regardless of
their discipline or tenure status.
OFD offers a wide variety of programming, including workshops on
topics pertinent to faculty success. Additionally, OFD offers reading
circles, small groups that provide colleagues the opportunity to share
ideas about teaching and learning in an informal setting with peers
from across the university. For participants looking for a more
intensive experience, OFD offers the Certificate of Reflective
Teaching Program, the Peer Coaching Program, the Assistant
Professors Community, and Community Engaged Faculty Fellows.
OFD also facilitates several faculty recognition programs, including
the Thank a Teacher Program and the University Teaching Awards.
Each year, OFD sponsors a Summer Institute, New Faculty
Orientation, and the Teaching and Learning Symposium.
