The idea
Active-learning techniques include the pause procedure, retrieval practice, predict-observe-explain demonstrations, think-pair-share, peer instruction, minute papers, concept maps and case-based learning.
In practice
A minute paper at the end of class asks, "What was the most confusing point today?"
Where people slip
Retrieval practice pays off later: on delayed tests, prior testing produced substantially greater retention than restudying.
