ZHANG John Xue-xin;School of Social Development and Public Policy, Fudan University;
Abstract: To address major problems in current university classroom teaching, the paper proposes PAD Class（Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion） as a new teaching method combining the advantages of lecture and discussion. The key idea is to allocate half of the class time to teacher’s presentation and the other half to students’ discussion. The presentation and discussion are separated so that students can have one week in between for self-paced and individualized assimilation. The corresponding learning assessment emphasizes formative evaluation and takes diversified learning needs into consideration. Results from pilot testing indicate that this new method enhanced students’ active learning and produced good learning effects. The PAD Class is worthy of further testing and spreading as it may be a classroom teaching method suitable to the conditions of Chinese universities.
