Think-pair-share is a collaborative teaching strategy first proposed by Frank Lyman of the University of Maryland in 1987.
[2] In think-pair-share strategy the teacher acts as a facilitator, and poses a question or a problem to the students.
As the students begin to share their thoughts and views, each learns to see the different perspectives of thinking among their peers.
Think-pair-share is designed to help the student to understand the concept of the given topic, develop ability to filter the information and formulate an idea or thought, and draw conclusions.
The most important aspect of the think-pair-share is that students will develop the ability to consider and appreciate the different viewpoints of their peers.
