Definition

Guide learners to generate knowledge themselves

It's a type of inquiry-based learning in active learning

Why

• See deeper structure

• Far transfer

• Greater involvement

• Recall key aspects of a problem

• Identify when to apply formula correctly

How to?

Do

• Invent-then-tell

• Flipped classroom
  • Watch lecture videos at home
  • Come to class to solve problems
  • Teacher and TAs walk around and help

• Better Flipped classroom
  • try and solve problems at home
  • learn concepts
  • attack misconceptions

• Peer instruction (think-pair-share)
  • Ask question - maybe vote - peer discussion - vote - class discussion - lecture (repeat)

• Team-based learning (related: cooperative learning)
  • Jigsaw

• Interteaching (reference:
  • Prep-guide to guide students through a reading
  • Give short lecture to clarify difficult concepts
  • Pair students to discuss the prep-guide and concepts

• When there are no right answers
  • Contrasting cases for convergent thinking
  • Parallel prototyping > serial prototyping (reduce fixation)
    • Reduce over-zealous transfer
    • conditionalization

Do NOT

• Summarizing

• Not efficient for procedural tasks (less time for practice)
