Questions and Tasks
Class time should be used less for lecturing and more for students to think, write, and talk about concepts, all the while constructing their own understanding. Instructors should encourage active thought and discussion by calling on students and by using methods like think-pair-share, debate, case studies, etc. The focus should be on fundamental principles, concepts that are most difficult to understand, and the most common misconceptions. Time for these classroom activities can be made available by moving the delivery of content to pre-class, preparation activities. Such preparation activities could be optimized for the greatest impact. Students need to be motivated and accountable for their preparation so that they will be ready for deep learning experiences in the classroom.
