Evidence-Based Science Education in Action
Wondering how to manage small group activities in a large lecture hall? Heard about 2-stage exams, but want to see the logistics? This video collection shows clips from university science and math classrooms, along with commentary pointing out key aspects and strategies. Most clips include a description, the context in which the strategy is used, the clip with accompanying text to help focus on key features, some tips from the instructor, teaching materials used in this particular strategy (when available), and references pointing to research that supports use of this strategy.
