Chiu, Pit Ho Patrio; Cheng, Shuk Han – Higher Education Research and Development, 2017
Recent studies on active learning classrooms (ACLs) have demonstrated their positive influence on student learning. However, most of the research evidence is derived from a few subject-specific courses or limited student enrolment. Empirical studies on this topic involving large student populations are rare. The present work involved a large-scale…
