Peer Instruction: A User's Manual

Rating:
Summary: A highschool physics teacher's review.
Review: If you have a class of 30,40,50 or more, and/or you have problems in terms of participation of your students in lessons, or if you would like to create useful discussions in your class by which your students can develop their conceptual understanding of physics; this book will serve as a great source. There are lots of materials that can be used in the class, along with standard tests such as FCI, MBT. Eric Mazur's Peer Instruction method is a research based well functioning teaching method. I have been using the materials in my highschool physics instructions, and seen the effectiveness of them. For example, well designed quizzes which I used to test reading assignments were very useful. Highly recommended for physics teachers.
