FINAL ANSWER?Using TV game shows to engage studentsand foster peer tutoring
RATIONALE • need to change things up in class • need to better engage students, especially in developmental classes • need to encourage peer tutoring and help students get to know one another
USES • present examples in a new way • extra practice – SLO analysis • review material • edit content for any subject area, faculty gatherings, etc.
CHALLENGES • Keep ALL students engaged. • Prevent “smarties” from dominating. • Make it worthwhile.
STUDENT FEEDBACK • “You get to work with your fellow students and they can teach you as well. Sometimes when the students show you how the problem is done it helps you out. As far as who wants to be a millionaire and jeopardy goes, they are excellent because you either work your way to a harder question or you get to choose which topic you like.”
STUDENT FEEDBACK • “I like the use of the review games because they not only give you extra practice, but they refresh you on previously taught material as well. The games show you your strengths and weaknesses which help you know what to study before the test.”
STUDENT FEEDBACK • “I loved the games. It was fun and it taught me exponents really well. I wouldn't know exponents as well as I do if it weren't for the games.”
Preparation • Edit Power Point content for subject being taught or reviewed. • Have student names printed and ready to draw. • Divide class into teams. • Assign every student a partner or two.
