• Resumen

  • Student-centered learning is an increasingly important pedagogical approach. Any method that focuses more attention on students' learning than it does on instructors' teaching should benefit the students' understanding of the material. This article describes and compares the use of two different student-centered techniques (Concept Checks and Just-In-Time Teaching) in small undergraduate lecture courses. The use of each technique, ease of development and its utilization, and the benefits to both the student and the instructor are discussed.
