SECTION 3
INSTRUCTION AIDS
The primary purpose of this section is to provide, for each chapter, the list of learning objectives, assorted
lecture tips and aids, suggested active learning activities, answers to the discussion questions at the end of
each chapter, web sites that might be used to supplement class discussion, and a list of appropriate cases
for that chapter. How these suggestions are used will depend on your individual teaching style. As you
will see from the active learning activities presented later in this section, we are strong advocates for
developing a learner-centered course. Thus, we introduce this idea before presenting instructional aids for
each chapter.
As the business sector places greater emphasis on such skills as oral and written communication, critical
thinking/problem solving skills, and teamwork, university classes will need to become increasingly “learner
centered” and collaborative in order to prepare students to function effectively in the contemporary business
environment.

This will require additional emphasis on both delivery (i.e., pedagogy) and on the role of the teacher as an
active partner in the students’ learning experiences. As Boehm (1992) states, “We are beginning to
understand that how we teach is central; it is, in fact, the second content of every course” (p. 37). Learning
is a fundamentally social process that occurs when individuals work together to create shared understanding
and knowledge. According to Johnson, Johnson, and Smith (1991, p. 1-11), “Learning proceeds more
fruitfully when relationships are personal as well as professional. Long-term, persistent efforts to achieve
come from the heart, not the head, and the heart is reached through relationships with peers and faculty.”
Thus we as faculty must be able to create an environment where positive relationships can be formed and
the classroom can become a learning community. This charge may sound overwhelming to those who
haven’t yet tried a more collaborative approach to education. But it can result in some wonderful classroom
experiences as teachers and students experience the excitement of acting as partners in the learning process.
A widely publicized study offers seven principles for good practice in higher education (Chickering and
Gamson 1987). The following guidelines can help you create a truly learner-centered experience for your
students:
There are many excellent ideas for active learning activities in the discussion questions and exercises at the
end of each chapter in the text. This resource manual also provides additional activities that can serve as a
foundation for your active learning experiences. As you design and deliver your course, be both creative
and courageous in including active learning exercises. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how fun and
effective they are!
The following collaborative activities are designed for use with small groups (2-5 students). Most can be
adapted easily to meet your specific classroom needs. The descriptions were taken from The Handbook for
the Fourth R 111: Relationship Activities for Cooperative and Collegial Learning by Richard and Elaine
Solomon. More detailed descriptions of these exercises can be found in the materials listed later in this
section under “Additional Instructional Resources—Teaching and Learning.” Two especially helpful
resources are Active Learning: Cooperation in the College Classroom by Johnson, Johnson, and Smith
(1991) and Cooperative Learning by Spencer Kagan (1992).
Three Step Interview: Each member of the group chooses or is assigned another group member to be a
learning partner. For example, students 1 and 2 are a pair and students 3 and 4 are a pair. During the first
step, 1 interviews 2 while 3 interviews 4. (Interviewing involves asking clarifying questions, not sharing
one’s own information or opinions.) During step two, the members reverse roles so that 2 interviews 1
while 4 interviews 3. In the third step, each member shares his/her learning partner’s responses with the
group.
Think-Share-Pair: This is a three-step activity. During step one, each person individually and privately
thinks about a question posed by the instructor. In step two, two people are paired to exchange and discuss
their responses. Step three involves having each person share his/her response, his/her partner’s response,
a synthesis or something new with another pair or the entire class.
3-2
Numbered Heads Together: Students in each group choose or are given a number (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4).
After the instructor poses several questions and says “Numbered Heads Together,” the group members get
together and make sure that each member can answer all of the questions. Each group then divides the
answers among its members according to numbers. After a predetermined time period, the instructor
restates the first question and announces a number (1, 2, 3 or 4). Students with the designated number in
each of the groups give their answers to the question. A second number is then called, and the procedure
continues until all of the questions are answered.
Roundtable Brainstorming: Each group is given one sheet of paper on which members write different
responses to a question posed by the teacher. Each member is asked to record one response to the teacher’s
question on the sheet of paper and then pass it on to another member. The paper is passed around the group
several times so that group members can read others’ responses and add new comments. A variation on the
brainstorming exercise is to pass around several different sheets of paper simultaneously with different
questions for group members to respond to.
Simple Jigsaw: The instructor divides an assignment into as many parts as there are group members. Each
member is responsible for learning and teaching his/her part of the assignment to his/her teammates.
Pre- and post-exercise quizzes can be given to test students’ mastery of the material.
Expert Jigsaw: This is a more complex exercise that includes the following steps. First, a task or a set of
materials is divided into several parts or topics. Next each group member is assigned one of the topics to
become an “expert” on. Members then meet with the corresponding “experts” from other groups to discuss
their topics, analyze and synthesize available data, and plan a strategy for presenting their information to
their teammates. Finally, members return to their original groups to teach the other members what they
have learned.
Group Consensus: Each group member shares information and listens carefully to what other members
share. After all members talk, the group has a discussion to determine what members believe in common
and where there are areas of disagreement.
Group Discussion with Talking Chips: Each group member is given a “talking chip” (e.g., a pen or
pencil, a square of colored paper, a crayon, etc.). The rule for sharing information in the group discussion
is that a member may speak only after placing his/her talking chip in the center of a designated table or
desk. Members may not share additional information until the chips of all other members have been turned
in. Then all members retrieve their chips. Any member may then speak again after relinquishing his/her
chip.
Three Minute Review: At any point during a lecture, the instructor gives each group three minutes to
review what has been shared, ask each other clarifying questions, and share answers. At the end of the
three minutes, members may ask the class and/or instructor for answers to question that have not been
sufficiently answered in the group.
Group Question and Answer: This activity is useful for reviewing class material. A student can pose a
question to the class or the instructor only when the members of his/her group don’t know the answer or
can’t agree on an answer. A variation on this activity is to require students to ask another group for an
answer (if their group does not have one) before asking the class or the teacher.
Send a Problem: The instructor, a student, or a group asks questions, creates case studies/scenarios or
poses problems which are sent to various groups for discussion. Each group reads, analyzes and discusses
what it has been sent and then writes a response which is either submitted to the teacher or shared with the
class.
3-3
Word-Webbing: Each group is given a set of related concepts. The group must then create a visual
“picture” which depicts and describes the relationships between its assigned concepts.
Team-Webbing: Each group is assigned one fact or concept which is written on a large sheet of paper.
Using a pen, pencil or magic marker, each group member simultaneously records a related fact or concept
or writes a question on the paper. Each group thus develops a team web of questions and answers that can
serve as a foundation for a whole class discussion.
Here are a few basic suggestions to help you integrate collaborative learning into your course successfully
and without stress:
• Start with one of the simpler collaborative learning structures. Repeat this same format using
different course material several times so that both you and your students can get comfortable with
it. (Remember that you are asking students to switch from their more traditional, passive
“listening” roles to active involvement in the learning process. It may take them some time to adapt
to this change too). Make sure you provide very clear, step-by-step directions and check to see that
students understand both the structure and the purpose of the activity.
• You can then choose a second type of activity to introduce to your class. Continue adding active
learning exercises gradually throughout the duration of the course. You will probably become quite
comfortable with the process by the end of one semester, and you may find yourself spontaneously
“mixing and matching” active learning activities to fit your materials or learning objectives.
• Look for opportunities within your regular course structure to use in-class groups. Often, time that
you would have spent entirely on lecturing can be used for a combination mini-lecture and group
activity or active learning exercise.
• Don’t feel that you need to establish tight control in your class for weeks before starting active
learning activities. It will probably work better to start these exercises early in the course so that a
class culture of collaboration and active involvement can be established right from the start.
• Remember that active learning is a “messier” process than lecturing. You will have inherently less
“control” over the process because you are asking students to get involved in the creation of
knowledge rather than just delivering a prepackaged lecture. Try to relax, be flexible and have fun.
You’ll be excited by the enthusiasm and learning outcomes as your students get more actively
involved in creating their own educational experiences.

quoted by Sydney Smith, Essays, p. 263: ‘T N .—We have lately
heard and seen that there is an act passed, and whatever poacher is caught
destroying the game is to be transported for seven years.—This is English
Liberty!
‘Now we do swear to each other that the first of our company that this law is
inflicted on, that there shall not be one gentleman’s seat in our country escape
the rage of fire. The first that impeaches shall be shot. We have sworn not to
impeach. You may think it a threat, but they will find it a reality. The Game
Laws were too severe before. The Lord of all men sent these animals for the
peasants as well as for the prince. God will not let his people be oppressed.
He will assist us in our undertaking, and we will execute it with caution.’

were not required. See Annual Register, 1827, p. 185, and Chron., p. 116.

personal infirmities and threats of violence: indeed he had subsequently heard
from a certain Mr. Wickham that ‘I left his place just in time to save my own
life, as some of the Mob had it in contemplation to drag me out of the
carriage, and to destroy me upon the spot, and it was entirely owing to the
interference of some of the better disposed of the Peasantry that my life was

Taylors, Shoemakers etc., who have been found always very eloquent, they
are universally politicians: they should be, I think, selected.’—H. O. Papers.

If this represents the total, some sentences of transportation must have been
commuted for imprisonment; possibly some rioters were sent later, for Mr.
Potter MacQueen, in giving evidence before the Committee on Secondary
Punishments, spoke of the six hundred able-bodied men who had been
transported in consequence of being concerned in the Swing offences.—
Report of Committee, p. 95. Four years later Lord John Russell, as Home
Secretary, pardoned 264 of the convicts, in 1836 he pardoned 86 more, and in
1837 the survivors, mostly men sentenced for life or for fourteen years, were
given pardons conditional on their ‘continuing to reside in Australia for the
remainder of their sentences.’ No free passages back were granted, and Mr.
Hudson states that very few, not more than one in five or six, ever returned.—

say that he applied in vain to Lord Melbourne for a mitigation of the life
sentence. See Criminal Entry-Book, H. O. Papers.

his availing himself so immediately of this opportunity to go to a foreign
country again looks a little too much like distaste for his own.’—Letters to
Ivy from the first Earl of Dudley, October 1808.

in the Contemporary Review, August 1911.
[489] Helpstone was enclosed by an Act of 1809. Clare was then sixteen
years old. His association with the old village life had been intimate, for he
had tended geese and sheep on the common, and he had learnt the old country
songs from the last village cowherd. His poem on Helpstone was published in
1820.
