Advance planning will help you to take into account such omissions. Write down examples in your notes. You may not remember them if you get nervous or distracted. Leading Discussions Instructors who wish to promote active learning in class might consider discussions to increase student involvement. Discussion promotes active learning and helps the students develop problem-solving strategies and critical thinking skills.
Discussions allow students to become active participants in their learning.
Early in the semester students may not be very comfortable voicing their opinions and may need encouragement to contribute to discussions. It is a good idea to start with questions on assigned reading so that every student feels familiar with the subject being discussed. Giving students the discussion questions in advance also encourages participation and preparation. Dividing the class into smaller groups ensures that even shy students have a chance to talk. Establish a set of objectives for yourself while planning discussion strategies.
