Think-Pair-Share is an equity pedagogical strategy developed by Dr. Frank Lyman in 1981 to increase student participation and discussion. It involves 3 steps: students think individually about a topic, pair with another student to discuss their ideas, and then share with the class. The strategy provides "think time" for students and allows them to practice discussing ideas in pairs before sharing. It can be used across grade levels and subjects to engage students, improve outcomes, and make passive learners more active. Research shows that employing Think-Pair-Share in an associate nursing program improved student engagement, preparation, and proficiency on assessments.
