Chapter 7 Peer Instruction
Peer instruction was created by Eric Mazure to improve student understanding in Physics, but it has been used in many areas of study including Computer Science and Mathematics. The peer instruction process is defined as follows:
-
Students read material before lecture
-
There is a short assessment before or at the beginning of lecture
-
The instructor displays a hard multiple-choice question every 15-20 minutes.
-
Students answer individually
-
Students discuss answers with peers
-
Students answer individually again
-
Instructor shows the results of both answers and leads a discussion
-
