The Discussion Project’s Classroom Discussion Survey
Existing research provides highly suggestive evidence that the use of classroom discussion improves students’ academic engagement, social integration, and academic achievement, all of which are important predictors of college completion. However, very little research thus far has attempted to investigate a direct connection between the use of classroom discussion pedagogy and student outcomes. In part, progress in this area is limited by the absence of high quality, scalable, valid, and reliable measures of the quality of classroom discussion.
The Discussion Project has developed a validated Classroom Discussion Survey. It is available to all participants of The Discussion Project and The Discussion Project Virtual.
More information will be posted here soon.
