PropertyValue
NameThink Pair Share
DescriptionThink, pair, share is a simple technique with great benefits. TPS results in increased student participation and improved retention of information. Using the procedure, students learn from one another and get to try out their ideas in a non-threatening context before venturing to make their ideas more public. Learner confidence improves and all students are given a way to participate in class, rather than the few who usually volunteer. The benefits for the teacher include increased time on task in the classroom and greater quality of students' contributions to class discussions. Students and teachers alike gain much clearer understandings of the expectation for attention and participation in classroom discussions. The model was first proposed by Frank Lyman of the University of Maryland. There are four steps to think, pair, share, with a time limit on each step signaled by the teacher. (An electronic kitchen timer works well for this.)
