Student Response Research
Peer Instruction: Engaging students one-on-one, all at onceCatherine Crouch, Jessica Watkins, Adam Fagen and Eric MazurIn this excerpt, the concept of Peer Instruction is reviewed as well as the benefits it has on collaborative and individual student performance. This proven methodology is reinforced with over 10 years of data compiled from Harvard University. The application of student response systems used collaboratively with Peer Instruction is also discussed, citing significant improvement in student understanding and engagement. Clickers in the Large Classroom: Current Research and Best-Practice TipsJane E. CaldwellJane Caldwell discusses how audience response systems (ARS) create engaging learning environments in large classrooms. Topics covered include Goals of ARS questions, compensating for reduced lecture time, examples of ARS use, guidelines and best practices as well as both student and instructor feedback. Caldwell's research supports the value response systems have on student learning and the positive effects they have when used with the peer learning approach to instruction.
Increasing Interactivity in Lectures Using an Electronic Voting SystemS. W. Draper & M. I. Brown Read about the use of student response as it is used in eight different educational departments with lecture sizes up to 300 students. An evaluation of the most common student and teacher benefits is also presented and shows that most students found the technology to be beneficial to their learning. Further analysis of the positive outcomes associated with the use of student response in conjunction with peer discussion is reviewed.
