Peer Instruction Is a Potent Cocktail of Learning Science

Peer instruction is a potent cocktail of learning science. It's very aligned with what we know about learning that when there's a learning outcome that's staged and then that is backed up by the activities in the class it propels learning forward. The students have to engage in pulling information from their memory so they're actually engaging in a different type of retrieval than soft skills like argumentation or backing up your knowledge with evidence.
