Abstract

Peer instruction is an interactive teaching method advanced by Harvard University professor Eric Mazur. It is a form of active learning meant to increase students’ engagement and collaboration in the classroom, using conceptual tests (or ConcepTests) and teaching aids like the clicker (Zhu & Dong, 2018). Research demonstrates that it assists with students’ grasp and application of disciplinary knowledge (Zheng et al, 2020).
