How Can I Promote Deep Learning through Critical Reflection?

From time to time, every one of you looks out across a classroom or lecture hall and wonders:

“Is any of this sinking in?”

You all know that mere passive absorption of information is a poor way of learning.

Students should be receiving information, reflecting on it, questioning it, testing it, applying it … really understanding it. Learning deeply, in other words.

Which pedagogical practices will promote that sort of learning?
