What the data say about engagement in the active learning classroom

“How was your day?”

We hear…

And even from each other…

“So, what works?”

According to the students…

“Very cool technology”

“I enjoyed the group work environment”

“Could be improved if one computer was provided per station”

“So, what works?”

According to the faculty…

“Be very explicit in your instruction about teamwork. Be sure to make it part of the course, assign points to some of the activities, and most important, teach students HOW to effectively be a team-member.”

“Competition among the groups seemed to be an effective way to make the groups work more efficiently. I gave them the assignment and the group that finished first would get 6 extra points to their homework grade, group that finished second would get 5 pointes, etc.”

“Make recorded lectures short, faster, and engaging…

I would not recommend a recorded lecture longer than 25 minutes (that is when I started getting email complaints).”
