Peer Instruction: Making Science Engaging Faculty Development Workshop September 4, 2012 Donna L. Pattison, PhD Instructional Professor Department of Biology & Biochemistry

Key Points: 1)Provides students with an opportunity to synthesize the concepts 2)Provides instructors feedback on student understanding Peer Instruction

Does it Work? Measuring your success: What do you need to do to determine if this method is working in YOUR classes? Design the experiment. Set up the timeline.

The Peer Instruction Method Pre-class reading assignment Mini lectureConcepTestsDiscussion Mazur Group

Pre-class Reading Assignment 1.How do you get students to read and think about the material? 2.How do you hold students accountable for the reading? 3.Do you grade it and how? 4.When do they hand it in? 5.Think about the above for a large class vs a small (<40 class).

Mini-Lecture 1.~10-20 minutes 2.Deal with difficulties or misconceptions 3.Concise and focused Ask yourself “What is the objective of my lecture? Can students get what I have to offer out of the textbook? What is the value added?” Can I move lecture material elsewhere?

Problem-solving Conceptual problems vs “plug and chug” or fact finding. Exams should reflect skills PRACTICED in class. How do you TEACH critical thinking in biology courses?

ConcepTests Explain WHY we are using Peer Instruction and Clickers (or your preferred polling method). 1) Makes lectures more interactive. 2) Gets students to think and process the info. 3) Provides immediate feedback to both student and instructor.
