Peer instruction for active learning - Eric Mazur


Many educators have found that traditional lecture do little to improve students' learning and understanding. This was evident through Eric Mazur research. The goal was to get the students to apply what they learn in new contexts that is not limited to the traditional problems found in text books that rely mainly on certain strategies and conceptual problems that require rote memory.

Eric Mazur found evidence that peer teaching have enhanced students' learning, retention and enjoyment in class. He gives his intake on how to do peer teaching and teaching not for tests but for genuine understanding and learning was published in a book : peer instruction A User Manual Guide
