STUDENT-CENTERED TEACHING METHODS

1. Type of active learning
    Students think about the answer to a question posed by the instructor, and then discuss the   question among each other.  The instructor selects students to explain the consensus to the class.
 
2.  Effective use of clickers
     Hand-held electronic devices  can allow students to anonymously vote on answers to multiple-choice questions in real time.  Clickers are usually most effective when used with peer instruction.

3.  One -minute papers
     Given an open-ended question, students spend one minute writing their answers on  indes cards, which  are collected by the instructor.  Often given at the end of class, the question ask students what was the most important  concept they learned or what remains unclear.

4.  Interactive lecture demonstrations
     Students  make predictions about the outcome of a classroom demonstration.  They then observe  the experiment or demonstration, decribe  the results, and discuss  and reflect on the observer outcome.
5.  Concept mapping
     Students create a visual represntation  that identifies  and shows  the interconnection  among various  ideas related to a specific  topic problem.

6.   Tutorial worksheets
       Students work through guided -discovery  worksheets that lead them through  a chain of logic to solve a problem or overcome  a conceptual difficulty.  Students complete the exercises in small groups, while the instructor circulates  among the groups  to ask targeted questions or to facilitate discussion.
