Educational Psychology / Unit 11 EDP 1017 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pacing, Structure and Transitions
Captions available
The idea
Good pacing sets tasks of moderate difficulty, beginning easy and familiar before growing harder; moderate structure directs students without removing their thinking; and transitions go smoothly when materials are ready and students manage themselves.
In practice
Supplies set out in advance turn a five-minute transition into one minute.
Where people slip
Too much structure removes the thinking, and too little leaves students lost.
