I maintain that far from being "out of the educational mainstream," science"engage"
teachers have led the pack for many years. We have always tried to
the students with hands-on activities... we call it "lab." We have always
tried to get students to work in teams... we call it "lab partners." We
have always tried to have students work problems in groups and discuss
solutions... we call these "recitation sections," "help sessions," and
"study groups." We've been doing this so long that people seem to have
forgotten about it. Then they look at our 50-minute lectures and say,
"Geez, you guys are out of it... all you do is lecture."
I want to shout, "Goodness... open your eyes and take a lesson from us!"
