Mutual Gains From Team Learning: A Guided Design Classroom Exercise
نویسنده
چکیده
Proponents of classroomand team-based exercises argue that structured group problemsolving activities enhance student learning. A team-based, guided design exercise conducted annually from 1985-2002 supports the claim that most teams reach superior decisions than individual students left to their own knowledge. However, a very small percentage of teams were not successful reaching a learning goal and an equally small number of highly competent individuals found themselves worse off, in terms of a team versus individual solution, after a team exercise. Nevertheless, the overall evidence validates the team-based approach to problem solving as a useful active learning strategy in the classroom.

متن کاملImprovements from a Flipped Classroom May Simply Be the Fruits of Active Learning
The "flipped classroom" is a learning model in which content attainment is shifted forward to outside of class, then followed by instructor-facilitated concept application activities in class. Current studies on the flipped model are limited. Our goal was to provide quantitative and controlled data about the effectiveness of this model. Using a quasi-experimental design, we compared an active n...
