Tutorial Strategies: Leading Effective Discussions
This e-module is part of the Modern TA series of open educational e-learning resources. It develops research-based strategies for how student-centered teaching approaches and digital technologies can be leveraged to enhance tutorials and support student learning. This module explores discussion- and inquiry-based teaching strategies that can be used in face-to-face learning environments, and illustrates how these strategies can be further enhanced by the use of digital technologies. This e-module includes an interactive video simulation that models and addresses common issues which arise in first year mathematics tutorials and in student-centered learning environments. It examines strategies and technologies that can be leveraged to foster student engagement, deep thinking, and understanding.
Topics include:
- Strategies for active learning
- Starting and supporting student discussions
- Question-posing techniques
- Proving and counter examples
