Just in Time Teaching

The goal: Make student work autonomously and ask questions in order to get deeper understanding

• How: Provide online material with test and “question about questions” ahead of the lesson ("Are there any parts of the reading that remain unclear to you? If yes, formulate a specific question on the relevant topic. If no, indicate which statement in the text you find particularly important or particularly interesting"). Before the lesson, the lecturer reads the questions and discuss them during the lesson.

• Why it works: Asking is anonymous, Student has time to formulate the question, Learning to ask questions is learning thinking!
