Utilizing the 4MAT model provided a framework for Professor
JN to present her course content to students more systematically;
she did this using mini lectures, supplemental
reading materials, and the use of cooperative learning activities.
She also provided in-class opportunities for her students
to practice their newly acquired knowledge and skills prior to
group work application activities. Professor JN appreciated
that 4MAT helped her to build on her strengths, such as incorporating
real-life small group activities that were connected
to actual classroom situations.
