The Use of Think, Pair, Share Strategy for the Learners of Primary Pupils at Laurel Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Think-Pair-Share strategy is designed to differentiate instruction by providing students time and structure to think on a given topic, enabling them to formulate individual ideas, and share these ideas with a peer. This learning strategy promotes classroom participation by encouraging a high degree of pupil response, rather than using a basic recitation method in which a teacher poses a question and one student offers a response.

METHODS

This study uses descriptive and qualitative type of research to describe the data and characteristics about what is being studied.

RESULTS

This learning strategy promotes classroom participation by encouraging a high degree of pupil response, rather than using a basic recitation method in which a teacher poses a question and one student offers a response.

DISCUSSIONS

This technique provides an opportunity to all students to share their thinking with at least one other student which, in turn, increases their sense of involvement in classroom learning. It can also be used as information assessment tool. As students discuss their ideas, the teacher can circulate and listen to the conversation taking place and respond accordingly.
