Synopsis
Keep students engaged and actively learning with focused, relevant discussion Second only to lecture as the most widely used instructional strategy, there's no better method than classroom discussion to actively engage students with course material. Most faculty are not aware that there is an extensive body of research on the topic from which instructors can learn to facilitate exceptional classroom discussion. Discussion in the College Classroom is a practical guide which utilizes that research, frames it sociologically, and offers advice, along with a wide variety of strategies, to help you spark a relevant conversation and steer it toward specific learning goals. Applicable across a spectrum of academic disciplines both online and on campus, these ideas will help you overcome the practical challenges and norms that can undermine discussion, and foster a new atmosphere of collaborative learning and critical thinking. Higher education faculty are increasingly expected to be more intentional and reflective in their pedagogical practice, and this guide shows you how to meet those expectations, improve student outcomes, and tackle the perennial problem of lagging engagement. Thoroughly grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book gives you concrete guidance on integrating discussion into your courses. You'll learn to: Overcome the challenges that inhibit effective discussion Develop classroom norms that facilitate discussion Keep discussion focused, relevant, and productive Maximize the utility of online student discussions The kind of discussion that improves learning rarely arises spontaneously. Like any pedagogical technique, careful planning and smart strategy are the keys to keeping students focused, engaged, and invested in the conversation. Discussion in the College Classroom helps you keep the discussion applicable to the material at hand while serving learning goals., Keep students engaged and actively learning with focused, relevant discussion Second only to lecture as the most widely used instructional strategy, theres no better method than classroom discussion to actively engage students with course material., PRAISE FOR DISCUSSION IN THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM "It is time for us to move beyond experientially-derived how-to-teach books. They were fine when what we had was mostly the wisdom of practice. Our pedagogical knowledge now rests on a firmer foundation. We do learn from experience, but we can learn more from systematic inquiry and analysis, especially when it come from someone whos done the research, been in the classroom, and writes with the caring commitment of a trusted colleague. Welcome to Jay Howards Discussion in the College Classroom. " From the foreword by Maryellen Weimer, teaching and learning scholar, author, and editor of The Teaching Professor newsletter "This is an innovative and very effective book. It should be in every faculty members library. At its core, it applies key ideas on behavioral norms to develop ore effective ways to engage students in deeper learning through more effective discussions. It allowed me, and will allow others, to see important ways to improve our discussions and, importantly, to see ways to develop new applications of the fundamental principles presented. It is also a very well-designed set of lessons for helping faculty learn to use these ideas.... The ideas throughout are based on some of the best research on college-level teaching and learning." Craig E. Nelson, professor emeritus, Indiana University, and president emeritus of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning "Howard does college faculty an enormous service through this expert and comprehensive analysis of effective classroom discussion. His insightful and balanced guidance moves us away from isolated self-assessment of our teaching and toward empirically-informed prescriptions that foster deep student learning." Diane L. Pike, professor of sociology, Augsburg College
