Abstract

One of the most effective ways to increase student learning is to identify places where students have difficulty and then show them precisely what they need to do to get past this bottleneck. This, however, requires making these steps explicit, both to ourselves and to our students. The Decoding the Disciplines process provides an effective means for accomplishing this and for passing these skills on to students. In this article this process will be presented and an example of its application in a history course will be described.
