Description of the Book:

Many students have not succeeded in traditional science education. Second teaching is a new pedagogical construct – a model of small group activity designed to follow initia1 instruction, or first teaching – developed after watching successful small groups at work. Following Vygotsky’s ideas, second teaching works to facilitate individual learning processes in a diversity of students who find a new academic domain foreign. In the process of second teaching, the collective wisdom of a small group acts as a mentor to individual learners. Many non- traditional students do well in a learning environment where second teaching is fostered. (Author
