This book presents the evidence and rationale for breaking up
lectures into shorter segments by using pauses to focus attention,
reinforce key points, and review learning. It also provides 65
adaptable pause ideas to use at the opening of class, mid-way
through, or as closers. Starting with brain science research on
attention span and cognitive load, Rice bases her book on two
fundamental principles: shorter segments of instruction are better
than longer ones, and learners who actively participate in
instruction learn better than those who donaEURO (TM)t. Pausing
helps teachers apply these principles and create student engagement
without requiring major changes in their lesson plans. With careful
planning, they can integrate pauses into learning sessions with
ease and significantly reinforce student learning. They will also
gain feedback on studentsaEURO (TM) comprehension. Rice sets out
the characteristics of good pauses, gives advice on how to plan
them and how to introduce them to maximum effect. She provides
compelling examples and concludes with a repertory of pauses
readers can easily modify and apply to any discipline. This book:
Makes the case for using pauses Identifies the primary functions of
pauses: focusing, refocusing, enhancing retention, or closing off
the learning experience Provides research evidence from cognitive
science and educational psychology Provides practical guidance for
creating quick active learning breaks Distinguishes between
starting, middle, and closing pauses Includes descriptions, with
suggested applications, of 85 pauses
