即时教学（JiTT）是一种教学方法，要求学生使用在线课程管理系统提前几个小时回答与即将到来的课程相关的问题。虽然“及时”这个词可能会让人联想到草率的工作和偷工减料，但JiTT教学法恰恰相反。它帮助学生将学习视为一个需要时间、反省和坚持的过程。体验过JiTT的学生上课时准备得更充分，并报告说，这有助于集中精力和组织他们的课外学习。他们对JiTT问题的回答使他们的学习差距在上课前对老师可见，使他或她能够在学生头脑中仍然新鲜的材料时解决学习差距-因此被贴上了“及时”的标签。JiTT问题与传统的家庭作业问题不同，它不仅是为了培养认知技能，也是为了帮助学生面对误解，与以前的知识建立联系，并发展元认知思维实践。因此，学生花更多的时间在课程概念和想法上，但也以更有效和更深入的学习方式阅读教科书。以学生的工作开始上课也大大改变了课堂学习环境，创造了更大的学生参与。这本书证明了JiTT在整个学术界具有广泛的吸引力。第一部分提供了一个广泛的概述JiTT，介绍了教学方法，并探讨其使用的各个方面，而不考虑纪律。本书的第二部分展示了JiTT在物理学、生物学、地球科学、经济学、历史学和人文科学中的应用实例的显著跨学科影响。
Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) is a pedagogical approach that requires students to answer questions related to an upcoming class a few hours beforehand, using an online course management system. While the phrase 'Just in time' may evoke shades of slap-dash work and cut corners, JiTT pedagogy is just the opposite. It helps students to view learning as a process that takes time, introspection, and persistence. Students who experience JiTT come to class better prepared, and report that it helps to focus and organize their out-of-class studying. Their responses to JiTT questions make gaps in their learning visible to the teacher prior to class, enabling him or her to address learning gaps while the material is still fresh in students' minds - hence the label 'just in time'. JiTT questions differ from traditional homework problems in being designed, not only to build cognitive skills, but also to help students confront misconceptions, make connections to previous knowledge, and develop metacognitive thinking practices. Students consequently spend more time on course concepts and ideas, but also read their textbooks in ways that result in more effective and deeper learning. Starting the class with students' work also dramatically changes the classroom-learning environment, creating greater student engagement. This book demonstrates that JiTT has broad appeal across the academy. Part I provides a broad overview of JiTT, introducing the pedagogy and exploring various dimensions of its use without regard to discipline. Part II of the book demonstrates JiTT's remarkable cross-disciplinary impact with examples of applications in physics, biology, the geosciences, economics, history, and the humanities.
