When a classroom discussion goes well, it can feel almost magical---students are engaged and willing to speak up, and they are experiencing the kind of learning that will last them a lifetime. Excellent discussion need not be rare. -Discussion in the College Classroom is a guide to creating that meaningful learning experience every time. There's no better method than classroom discussion to actively engage -students with course material. Most faculty are not aware that there is an -extensive body of research on the topic from which instructors can learn. Discussion in the College Classroom frames that research sociologically and -offers advice, along with a wide variety of strategies, to help you spark a relevant conversation and steer it toward specific learning goals. Facilitating discussions is not always easy, especially with students who don't seem to be paying attention and others who insist on dominating. Adding technology to this mix can compound the issue, and then there is the question of whether or not to grade for participation. Here you'll discover proven techniques for overcoming these and other conundrums, whether on campus or online. The kind of discussion that improves learning rarely arises spontaneously. Like any pedagogical technique, careful planning and smart strategy are the keys to keeping students focused and invested in the conversation. Discussion in the College Classroom helps you keep the discussion relevant, productive, and serving learning goals.
