Study Notes

Opening a Lecture

  • One useful strategy for opening a lecture is to ask a question, which serves as an effective way to engage students and encourage active thinking.
  • Opening a lecture with a question:
    • Encourages students to think critically and make connections to prior knowledge
    • Allows instructors to gauge students' understanding of the topic
    • Creates a sense of curiosity and motivates students to learn more
    • Helps instructors to identify areas where students may need additional support

Think-Pair-Share Strategy

  • The Think-Pair-Share strategy is a technique used to facilitate student participation and engagement:
    • Students are given a question or prompt and asked to think about their response individually (Think)
    • Students then share their thoughts with a partner or in a small group (Pair)
    • Finally, students share their responses with the entire class (Share)
  • This strategy is particularly useful when:
    • Introducing new concepts or topics
    • Encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving
    • Fostering a sense of community and collaboration in the classroom

Focused Listing Strategy

  • The Focused Listing strategy is a brainstorming technique that involves:
    • Providing students with a specific topic or question
    • Asking students to generate a list of ideas or responses related to the topic
    • Typically takes around 5-10 minutes to complete
  • Focused listing differs from brainstorming in that:
    • It is more structured and guided
    • Students are encouraged to generate a specific number of ideas or responses
  • The instructor receives feedback from focused listing, including:
    • Gaining insight into students' prior knowledge and understanding of the topic
    • Identifying areas where students may need additional support
    • Informing future lesson plans and instruction
