Relative to traditional deductiveteaching, they certainly are not trivial to implement. At the same time,inductive teaching and learning techniques are more likely to arousestudent resistance and interpersonal conflicts. Moreover, instructionalmethods that call for the use of team-based learning pose additionalproblems, such as the needs to assess individual student performance in ateam environment and to prepare students to deal with communicationproblems that arise in cooperative work.Discovery Learning is an extreme form of inductive teaching wherestudents are presented with a challenge and left to work out the solution ontheir own. The instructor may provide feedback in response to students’efforts but offers little direction. This form of inductive teaching has rarelybeen used in undergraduate classes. There is little empirical evidence forits effectiveness in that setting.This paper discusses two different challenges, presented in twoconsecutive semesters as part of the XXX class at XXX University, usingDiscovery learning approach.We compare the effectiveness of the discovery learning approach in thetwo undergraduate classes, based on empirical evidence and students’perceptions. In the end, the paper summarizes some of the lessons learnedand plans for future activities using discovery teaching and learningapproach.
