<p>added talking points asset</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==What are they?==<br /> <br /> Talking points are deliberately thought-provoking statements for discussion and reasoning in small groups.<br /> <br /> ==Why use them?==<br /> <br /> Research shows that using talking points is an effective strategy to promote conceptual learning in a target area for the following reasons:<br /> <br /> * They '''structure''' the group task yet keeps the discussion open-ended. This is because pupils discuss the points but are free to contribute their own understanding /opinion about the point. In other words, the task is well-defined as well as interactive.<br /> * They help pupils to discuss different aspects of a concept by providing '''cues for discussion'''.<br /> * They help to '''maintain the focus''' of discussion.</div>
