NISOD Innovation Abstracts, Vol. XXVI, No. 26


In "Getting Over Textbook 'I' Strain," Mid Brock, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Darton College (GA), describes a process whereby students become participants in their course textbook selection process. Their careful attention to the task and the results of their efforts made this experiment come alive as a useful, extraordinary success!

William L. Dubnov, Adjunct Instructor of Psychology, at Richland College (TX), describes a surprisingly simple instructional strategy proven to improve student in-class participation. In "One Simple Thing: A Technique for Overcoming Fear of Failure," readers will learn about a compulsory hand-raising technique that works like a charm!
