HOW IT WORKS

PEDAGOGY

EDUCATION THAT TEACHES STUDENTS HOW TO QUESTION, CREATES INDEPENDENT THINKERS

Everywhere, students are taught to become competent at answering questions and to remain incompetent at asking questions

Dillon, 1990

Throughout education, the majority of classroom questions are asked by teachers and not by students.

Harper, Etkina & Lin, 2002

Education that puts student questions at the center:

1
leads to better learning outcomes;
2
ensures that learning matches students' interests;
3
teaches students how to be critical of what they learn;
4
gives teachers insight in students' thinking.

ABOUT US

PEERTEST is developed by Sam de Vlieger. Sam works as a philosophy and economics teacher at a secondary school in the Netherlands. The development of PEERTEST started when he was looking for a way for students to take a test and also be able to check each other's answers. In 2019, he received financial support from Radboud University, Nijmegen. Next to teaching philosophy, he is working to further develop and spread PEERTEST to create more practices where students come up with their own questions!

We are looking for people who want to test PEERTEST and who see opportunities from their institution to further develop PEERTEST. Do you think the development of PEERTEST is interesting and fits with your pedagogical vision? Then get in touch with us.
