Our released White Papers
Would you like to dive deeper into some learning techniques or other ways to engage your students even more during your lessons? Every quarter we release a white paper where we do a deep dive and we give you recommendations based on what different researches suggest.
Encourage your students to become active learners
Teachers ask an average of 400 questions a day. Most of the time they don’t wait very long for an answer, or they have a ‘hands up if you know the answer’ culture. In that case it’s always the same students who put their hand up, and only if they know the correct answer. What about the rest of the class? The silent kids hiding in the background? The more disruptive pupils? Or those who easily get distracted? It is scientifically proven that active inquiry and learning are children’s natural inclination.
So what can you do to encourage those natural sparks of curiosity during your lessons?
