Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

Creator:

Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)

Abstract:

An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...
