Competition as a Teaching Strategy
Murray, Alex
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v11 n1 p13-16 2019
In this article, both the negative and positive roles of competition as a teaching strategy are explored. By using the lenses of culture, gender, second language learners and different levels of education, the strategy of competition is considered in terms of its component pieces in order to find how best to use it. By adjusting the use of competition to include collaboration and being mindful of competition's effects, teachers can bring it back into the classroom for the benefit of our students.
