A fairly common approach in some STEM (science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics) courses involves the following:
- pre-reading which is "enforced" with reading quizzes or "JiTTs" (Just
in Time Teaching -- essay questions on readings that target common
student misconceptions
- clicker questions, particularly conceptual ones that students first
answer individually and if there is substantial class variation
students consult with each other and then revote. This is "Peer
Instruction." The name most commonly associated with it is the Harvard
physicist Eric Mazur (who has recently moved to a TBL
variant).
The above isn't as structured as TBL and I suspect it isn't as effective
but I'm sure it is more common. They've also done a lot of research based
on cognitive science; TBL seems to do less of that. One paper shows more
than two standard deviations more learning with the above than standard
lecture; see Deslauriers et al., "Improved learning in a large-enrollment
physics class." science 332.6031 (2011): 862-864,
http://www.cwsei.ubc.ca/SEI_research/index.html .
For a website, see http://www.cwsei.ubc.ca/ . It might be worth noting
that they've recent done some work on "two-stage tests" (which have the
same format as RATs). The Carl Wieman mention on the site received a Nobel
Prize in 2001 (physics) and for many years he lead two research groups:
atomic physics and physics education research. The latter lead to a "U.S.
Professor of the Year" award (four are awarded annually) a few years after
his Nobel. He's currently at Stanford with a joint appointment between
physics and the Graduate School of Education.
For more on what physicists have done, see "Don't Lecture Me,"
http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/tomorrows-college/lectures/ .
I've used both TBL and the above. I prefer TBL but the above is easier to
manage in the classes of 300+ I currently teach and it is an easier sell
to students and administrators.
It seem sensible to have knowledge of other non-lecture methods of
teaching.
