Abstract :
Technologies gradually take part in pedagogical progress, and some play a role as a mediating object. In this study, we construct a system to help teachers easily apply peer instruction (PI) and just-in-time teaching (JiTT) pedagogical models. After having a pilot experiment which adopts PI and JiTT on general physics course with freshmen at the department of electrical engineering, we found two problems. One is pre-class assignments participation rate, and the other is in-class process issue. Therefore we designed a pedagogical method, named think-individually-then-peer-share (TIPS), to deal with these two problems.
