| Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is a collaborative pedagogical strategy achieving positive results in student learning gains. The ‘Plus Two' format at UTEP replaces one hour of lecture with two hours of PLTL Workshop: small group, team based, active learning sessions integrated with lecture. Plus Two PLTL has increased the C-or-better passing rate from 53% to 74% in general chemistry here. One continuing difficulty is in engaging students to effectively participate because of wide variance in abilities. An effective way to keep students' involvement at a maximum is to use competition in the form of a game. The origins of the Three Man Game come from a common thinking pool, the college party. ‘Three Man' can be applied to any subject, using two dice and two decks of questions: one deck being fast paced, concept based questions, the other deck containing problem solving and strategy based questions. |
