  1. Interactive Teaching Learning when students do more than half the talking!

  2. What is Interactive teaching about? • Encourages student lead learning • Teachers need skills in leading discussions, asking well framed questions and being prepared for follow up questions • During the session teachers must keep track of: the facts of the case, the substantive concepts explained using the case, the process of discussion (including getting everyone involved, key positions are getting discussed) • Interactive teaching challenges students to become involved in discussion- reflecting on opinions and judgements with peers and teachers

  3. What Resources are used? • Teachers utilise case studies or other support materials including: • Total physical responses- studies show when physical activity is involved students retain more information • Utilising competitions and tests- impulse for competition focuses engagement • Pop culture engagement- so students identify with problem • Jigsaw puzzle- group work • Social network pages- generation used to social media/blogs

  4. WHY? • Aim of interactive teaching is to draw on the students experiences. • This can be centred on an object such as a video clip, role play, case study discussion etc • Why does it work?- it gives practical shape and illustration to concepts. The aim is to focus on people as decision makers so that students can develop and understanding ‘ in the shoes’ of people they may be learning about. • Students prefer interactive teaching to traditional lectures • Encourages students to organise their thoughts, then articulate this to the class
