Pausing Principles and Their Effects on Reasoning in Science.
Rowe, Mary Budd
New Directions for Community Colleges, n31 p27-34 Fall 1980
Describes two instructional techniques that facilitate improved absorption of course material: (1) the "pausing principle," i.e., pausing during a lecture so that students can share materials and absorb lecture content; and (2) the calculation of "wait time" intervals, or the appropriate number of seconds for students to respond to teacher questions.
