Send us a Text Message.Can questioning transform teaching more effectively than lecturing? Join us on The Brighter Side of Education as we welcome Dr. Eric Mazur, the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University, to discuss social learning and assessment.  Dr. Mazur is the innovator of Peer Instruction and Perusall. His motivational lectures on interactive teaching, educational technology, and assessment have inspired people around the world to change their approach to teaching. Our conversation focus on social learning strategies, as they align with the flipped classroom model, will be broken down into three parts: Peer Instruction, Just in Time Teaching and Perusall. We end with a discussion on rethinking assessment in the age of AI. We start with Peer Instruction, its workflow, and its alignment with the flipped- classroom model. Dr. Mazur recounts his eye-opening journey from traditional lectures to an approach that prioritizes student engagement through questioning. This episode highlights how shifting from information transfer to active learning can elevate comprehension and retention, proving that social learning dynamics are key to successful education.Then, we dive into the Just-In-Time Teaching methodology and its evolution into the Perusall platform. Dr. Mazur explains how these tools have transformed pre-class assignments into engaging, interactive experiences, leading to improved classroom performance. With the information transfer happening before class,  students' real-time confusion is addressed during in-person time. This segment delves into the principles and benefits of moving content interaction outside of class, setting the stage for more meaningful in-class learning.

Dr. Eric Mazur discusses challenges to religious freedom in the early American Republic. Religious minorities like the Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists were the victims of violence and discrimination. Several court cases have struggled to find the middle ground between anti-establishment and the freedom to express faith in the public square. We, as a nation, continue to pursue that “more perfect union.” Join us for this last episode of our first season of History from the Old Brick Church!Dr. Eric Mazur teaches courses on Judaism, religion in American culture, and the academic study of religion at Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach, VA. His specific interests include religion and American law, religion and popular culture, and Judaism in the American South. Before returning to graduate school, Dr. Mazur served as a public interest lobbyist in Washington, D.C.Intro and outro created by Thomas Fosdick.

My guest today is Eric Mazur, professor of physics and applied physics at Harvard University. He is also a creator and entrepreneur in the area of technological resources for classroom teaching. He is known for his research in ultrafast optics and condensed matter physics, and also for his extensive work in the teaching methodology known as Peer Instruction. Attending one of his lectures on teaching as a graduate student was one of the formative experiences of my professional life. He is a true pioneer in active learning in science and engineering education, and was practicing and espousing the benefits of “flipped classrooms” long before the word came into common usage.

No pospongas lo importante. Nuestra invitación hoy es a ser proactivos. Te compartimos 3 formas de aumentar el autocontrol según la ciencia, por Eva Maria Rodríguez. En el primer bloque, César Cordero sigue con el hilo de enfocar nuestra visión, analizar que queremos de este año. La invitación de su parte es hacer tu mejor esfuerzo. El reto está en que el año comienza diferente, y comienzas por ti. César nos propone hacer la siguiente declaración: Del “Yo solía a ser” a “Yo elijo ser”, porque se trata de desarrollar cualidades sin perder de vista tus calidades. Compartimos y nos unimos a el mensaje de esta interesante entrevista que publica el periódico El País por Nacho Menese. Lo que puedes captar en ella: “La educación es uno de los sectores que más innovación necesitan, porque básicamente seguimos enseñando de la misma manera en que lo hacíamos hace cientos de años”, afirma Eric Mazur, catedrático de Física y Física Aplicada en la Universidad de Harvard, y creador del método interactivo denominado Peer Instruction, o instrucción entre pares. En otro bloque, Janis Santaella se une a que te lances a lo que quieres ¡y nos recomienda por pasos! Primero, saber lo que no quieres. Segundo, Tomar conciencia y decisión del cambio. Tercero, el trabajo grueso: quién eres y qué quieres. Cuarto, conectar con tus miedos. Quinto, Hacerlo práctico. Practicar la autoconfianza, el desarrollo de las capacidades que se conecta con la habilidades y tus sueños.

Olá! No vídeo de hoje, continuamos a série sobre Metodologias Ativas em Educação! O tema é Peer Instruction (Instrução ou Aprendizagem por Pares), essa metodologia surgiu nos anos 90 em Harvard com professor Eric Mazur. Assim, é uma metodologia que busca modificar as dinâmicas nas sala de aula retirando o foco da aula expositiva para outro modelo de educação mais participativa entre pares. Ficou curioso/a?

“If your child needed to have brain surgery, you would not take them to the hospital that makes other people think highly of you. You would take them to the best hospital you could find. Well, education is brain surgery. It rewires your brain.” In this episode of Nat Chat, I’m joined by Ben Nelson, founder of Minerva and Minerva Schools at KGI. I’ve been excited to have Ben on the show from the beginning, since Minerva is one of the few education startups out there that’s truly changing and competing with the existing university system. They’ve taken a completely fresh look at how to run a university in the 21st century, and their results have been incredible, which we get into right as the episode starts. If I were in high school, Minerva would be more appealing than Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, or any prestigious university you typically think of. To find out why, you’ll have to hear Ben explain their process. We covered a wide range of topics, including: How we learn and how we can improve it Making educational choices based on value rather than prestige Major flaws in today’s universities What an optimal university system looks like The importance of learning real-world skills And much more. Please enjoy, and reach out to Ben on Quora! If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more about the college system, you’ll want to check out my episode with William Deresiewicz and my episode with Thomas Frank, where we talk about student learning, university flaws, advice for students, and more. You’ll also like my episode with Darwish Gani, where we talk about different university systems, finding your passion, networking, and more.

In this video professor Eric Mazur of Harvard University talks about a novel team-based, project-based approach to teaching that breaks the mould by giving students ownership of their learning. This approach has no standard lectures or exams, yet students' conceptual gains are significantly greater than those obtained in traditional courses. This video is part of Swinburne's Digital Aquarium Deep Dive series.

Eric Mazur, professor of physics at Harvard, discusses his upcoming Master Class titled 'Confessions of a Converted Lecturer.'

Workshop avec le prof. Eric MAZUR, Harvard University (UNIL - HESSO - SFDN) Most -- if not all -- of the important skills in our lives are acquired outside the traditional classroom setting. Yet we continue to teach using lectures where students passively take down information. Peer instruction is a research-based pedagogy that actively engages students in the classroom and has been shown to dramatically improve conceptual understanding, even in large classes. While successfully implementing peer instruction doesn't require any technology, using the right technology can improve student engagement, increase learning, and make it easier to implement peer instruction in your classroom. In this workshop you will learn how to use Learning Catalytics -- a web-based technology -- to bring peer instruction to your students.

Prof. Eric MAZUR, Harvard University (UNIL - HESSO - SFDN) I thought I was a good teacher until I discovered my students were just memorizing information rather than learning to understand the material. Who was to blame? The students? The material? I will explain how I came to the agonizing conclusion that the culprit was neither of these. It was my teaching that caused students to fail! I will show how I have adjusted my approach to teaching and how it has improved my students' performance significantly.
