What is peer instruction?

Peer instruction is a teaching method that actively involves students in the learning process through collaboration and interaction. In this approach, students are presented with a concept or problem, and they individually think about and respond to it. Then, they discuss their ideas with a peer to exchange thoughts, clarify misconceptions, and provide explanations. The process is further enhanced when these discussions are followed by a class-wide discussion, where students voice their perspectives, ask questions, and engage in deeper analysis. Peer instruction aims to leverage the collective knowledge and experience of the students, promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter and fostering critical thinking skills. By encouraging students to learn from each other, peer instruction creates an inclusive and interactive learning environment.
