Intended Learning Outcome:

To help students think around a subject

Tool:

Discussing common misunderstandings of a topic helps students to think around the idea and re-conceptualise learning.

Activity:

In small groups, ask students to think of three ways a topic could be misunderstood. This could be in the application of an idea or the way it is communicated.

Ask students to then try and describe a correct explanation which avoids those pitfalls.

How:

Examples:

In Music Theory, the way in which triads are built can be approached in different ways. The rules can be misapplied. Students can give examples of how they are misapplied.

Large Group Teaching:

This will work well with large groups.

Online Teaching:

Success:

Students are aware of the applications of learning and can re-conceptualise ideas by thinking around a subject.
