• Learners are empty vessels to be filled with knowledge
• Instructor‐centered

Transmissionist vs. Constructivist
Instructor
• “I know a lot about this topic, so I will transmit my knowledge to you by telling you about it”.
Facilitator• “I know a lot about this
topic, so I will create situations and present challenges for you so that you construct your own knowledge and understanding”.

B) Somewhat successful.
C) Not much of an effect.

Factual recall questions are neither fun nor helpful.
Good clicker questions:

• Students are not empty vessels to be filled up
• In learner‐centered classrooms, students are guided by a facilitator to engage and construct their own knowledge
• There are many tools for implementing active learning.
• There is overwhelming evidence that active learning is an effective method for student learning
• Create learning environments that reflect the process of science!
