"For the Gallery Walk IDEA, the instructor develops several questions or prompts and places them at different locations around the room. Students are placed into small groups, which move from station to station, writing responses to each question, both adding to what previous groups have contributed and clarifying any misconceptions that have been written. At the end of the activity, each group summarizes and reports on its last question.Using approaches to learning that include getting students to move around a physical space can be beneficial. This movement, if planned well, can also facilitate both learning and retention of new information. The Gallery Walk IDEA gets students physically moving around the room. Physical activity has been shown to improve attention to learning and interrupt lethargy, particularly when it interrupts long periods (Jensen, 2005)." — Teaching for Learning, Major CH, Harris MS, Zakrajsek T, 2016 |
