Specifically, note taking…..
In my early experiences with TBL (just finished my first unit, started the 2nd) I am pleased with the nature of the discussion within teams I hear during tRATs and the application questions. I also notice that no one is taking notes during those discussions or during the ‘post-voting’ discussion.
I know that the deliberation alone is supposed to increase learning………………but I don’t see evidence of it in the tests I am grading (performance is as poor, or poorer than when I just lecture on the same topics.
While I believe that the main reasons for poor performance are not doing the reading in the first place (just counting on the team to bail them out/using common sense not informed opinion during the TBL discussions), and poor study habits, I wonder if not recognizing the discussion as a note taking opportunity is also part of the problem.
What do you see from your successful vs. less successful students in this regard?
[Note: I’m teaching an intro. to Human Geography to predom. 1st and 2nd year students at a ‘moderately selective’ institution where about 1/3 of the 1st year students need remediation in reading, writing, math………..many of whom seem to show up in my class, perhaps b/c they perceive geography as easier than Poli. Sci., history, etc]
