Title: Teaching Traumatized Generations: Understanding Moral Injury Can Help Course Design
Abstract: Teachers and students would mutually benefit from a stronger understanding of how neurological conditions impact the way in which people learn, think, and complete tasks. How people experience moral injury through general traumatic events and triggers can affect how they process information. Since the study of moral injury is relatively new, teachers can benefit from understanding this condition to help explain why certain students feel anxiety concerning course design and instruction. By recognizing how prevalent moral injury can be, teachers can think and rethink ways to convey and assess learning outcomes.
