“Peer Instruction”
Presenter: Tom O'Mahony, Teaching & Learning Unit, CIT
Session Description:
The teaching strategy peer instruction was popularised by Eric Mazur to support the teaching of physics to undergraduate students at Harvard and is now one of the most widely used instructional strategies in undergraduate physics education. It has wide applicability outside of the physics discipline.
This session will demonstrate peer instruction in action and discuss some of the evidence in favour of its effectiveness.
