Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) for Cybersecurity Courses
Saleh, Mohamad
Journal of Instructional Research, v9 p55-61 2020
Having a clear teaching strategy is vital when it comes to improving students' retention and preserving their knowledge. Various general teaching approaches have been incorporated into the classrooms as ways of improving teaching and student learning. Some of these approaches proved to be effective and some are ineffective. In this study, I discuss another teaching approach called "Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT)." In this approach, I try to keep a balance between in-class and out-of-class time. I am not just relying on watching short videos before class time and doing activities during class time. With the JiTT approach, I am also including short warm-up questions to be answered and replied to by students prior coming to class each week. The main goal of these warm-up questions is to address any misconceptions they have and try to resolve them during class before it is absorbed into the student's mind.
