Students like to practice. Who knew! My sense of students drive to mastery has been thoroughly remixed. However, I have noticed that students do not care exactly how they practice, merely that they did. So whether we give the students worksheets to complete on their own or we give them a couple questions to complete in a group, the students will still be driven to complete them.
I think it’s really important to note that while students will still complete worksheets, they won’t be interested in the material if it is not accompanied by thoughtful, engaging conversation about the topics.
We should always be ready to engage in conversations about the course content to give students a more holistic view of what they are studying and allow them to develop interests in the material beyond what we have provided them with on paper.
