  • rethink
  • Faculty are learning to make courses more active by seeding them with questions, ask-your-neighbor discussions and instant surveys.
  • “active learning.” Students are working experiments, solving problems, answering questions — or at least registering an opinion on an interactive “smartboard” with an electronic clicker.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • lecture model
  • Mazur has developed an interactive teaching technique called peer instruction, in which the lecture is broken into chunks. Between topics, Mazur poses questions and students work together to answer them.
  • reduced the lecture to a commodity
  • lectures and posts them online as homework,
  • time in the lecture hall as a sort of “office hours for everybody,
  • Class time is devoted to writing programs and solving problems, with students working together and posting solutions on a projected screen.
  • put lectures online.
  • Active learning is hard work. Students say the interactive classes are more taxing than any lecture.

  • This paper is so important because it combines 225 individual research studies through a technique called meta-analysis.
  • active approaches privilege “what the student does”. Courses built around active learning require students to spend class time engaged in meaningful tasks that lead to learning. These tasks might be online or face-to-face; solo or in a group; theoretical or applied. Most of our popular learning and teaching buzzwords at the moment are active approaches: peer instruction, problem-based learning, and flipping the classroom are all focused on students spending precious class time doing, not listening.
