Advantages of collaborative learning
Examples of effective laboratory practices
This chapter discusses several methods of teaching science within the traditional formats: lectures, discussion sessions, and laboratories. How can you help your students learn science better and more efficiently in each format? Although there is no universal best way to teach, experience shows that some general principles apply (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1990a; McDermott et al., 1994; Mazur, 1996):
Teach scientific ways of thinking.
Actively involve students in their own learning.
Help students to develop a conceptual framework as well as to develop problem solving skills.
Promote student discussion and group activities.
Help students experience science in varied, interesting, and enjoyable ways.
Assess student understanding at frequent intervals throughout the learning process.
LECTURES
Evidence from a number of disciplines suggests that oral presentations to large groups of passive students contribute very little to real learning. In physics, standard lectures do not help most students develop conceptual understanding of fundamental processes in electricity and in mechanics (Arons, 1983; McDermott and Shaffer, 1992; McDermott et al., 1994). Similarly, student grades in a large general chemistry lecture course do not correlate with the lecturing skills and experience of the instructor (Birk and Foster, 1993).
