Buzz sessions are a small group technique used in higher education to facilitate learning. In a buzz session, a large class is divided into small groups, who are each given a problem or task to discuss within a limited time period. Group members contribute their ideas and apply previous knowledge to find solutions. Representatives from each group then present their results to the larger class, stimulating further discussion. Buzz sessions encourage active student participation, development of higher-order thinking skills, and interaction between peers and instructors.
