Woo, Chang Wan; Whitfield, Toni S.; Britt, Lori L.; Ball, Timothy C. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2022
As advanced classroom technologies are developed, more higher education institutions are building innovative classrooms. Previous studies have focused on students' academic performances in innovative classrooms, but few compared students' experience between traditional and innovative classrooms. In comparing observations and self-reports of…

Chiang, Feng-Kuang; Brooks, D. Christopher; Chen, Hui – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Active learning classrooms (ALCs) have been demonstrated to have significant and positive impacts on student learning experiences, student learning outcomes, and instructor and student behavior compared to traditional classrooms. The social context of a classroom -- levels of student-student and student-instructor interaction -- has been…

Kennedy, Heather R.; Stafford, Gloria E. – Journal of Learning Spaces, 2023
An "active learning" classroom design recognizes the importance of students becoming engaged in their own learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study compared student-reported data (n = 219) and used the "community of inquiry" framework to evaluate the impact of environmental features on students' experience. Students…

Zhicheng Dai; Yue Yang; Zengzhao Chen; Ling Wang; Liang Zhao; Xiaoliang Zhu; Junxia Xiong – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Higher education is beginning to focus on how to effectively cultivate IoT engineers who possess both hard skills and soft skills. Therefore, from the perspective of activity theory and combining it with project-based learning, this study constructed a project-based learning framework based on activity theory and applied this framework to an IoT…

de Borba, Gustavo Severo; Alves, Isa Mara; Campagnolo, Paula Dal Bó – Innovative Higher Education, 2020
This article explains the relationship between learning spaces and the furtherance of student engagement and enhancement of student-faculty interaction. Following a design-driven methodology and considering flexibility, interaction, and connectivity as core elements to classroom design, we have prototyped spaces and implemented them in 96…

Alison Page; Jennifer Blue – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
A study was done at a mid-sized public university in the Midwest of the United States. At this university, there are three large classes taught in Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) classrooms: algebra-based introductory physics, calculus-based introductory physics, and introductory statistics.…

Young, Barbara; Hynes, Wendy; Hynes, Morgan – Journal of Learning Spaces, 2021
While the interior design of classroom spaces has evolved to support active learning methods, few studies have isolated environment changes from curriculum changes to understand the impact of space on behavior (Brooks, Walker, & Baepler, 2014). Adapting an observation instrument from the Brooks (2012) study, "Space and Consequences",…

David Juárez-Varón; Manuel Ángel Juárez-Varón; Ana Mengual-Recuerda; Beatriz Andres – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2024
This research delves into the comparative analysis of brain activity using gamification in the classroom versus traditional teaching. This study aims to employ neurotechnology to record and analyse the impact of active gamification methodology on relevant variables in the learning process within a traditional university education setting,…

Holec, Victoria; Marynowski, Richelle – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2020
Active learning has experienced a recent resurgence with the advent of specialized active learning classrooms. While the fundamental theory behind active learning is anything but new, a relatively recent finding is that active learning pedagogies thrive in suitable active learning classrooms. To date, studies of active learning have focused on…

Gordy, Xiaoshan Zhu; Carr, Elizabeth O.; Zhang, Lei; Bailey, Jessica H. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2020
Active learning spaces emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century. The active learning space design represents not only an overhaul of traditional classrooms' physical appearances but also reflects a paradigm shift from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. Current available research mainly focused on student academic…

Rath, Danielle Robertson; Rock, Cheryl Rosita – Journal of Food Science Education, 2021
Through a collaboration between a professor in academia and an industry professional, entry-level food science students were given the opportunity to critically evaluate the safety of energy drinks. This evaluation occurred through a General Education (Category A3) course designated "Critical Thinking" at California State University --…

Wheat, Celeste A.; Sun, Yan; Wedgworth, Jessica C.; Hocutt, Martha M. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2018
The purpose of this research was to examine how learning space design and implementation of an active learning pedagogy based on the 5E Instructional Model influence university faculty's teaching practices and students' engagement. Faculty Fellows were recruited from a public, medium-sized university in the United States to teach courses,…

Mui, May Lim Sok; Carpio, Guiller Augustin Cea; Ong, Chee Ming – Journal of Learning Spaces, 2019
This cross-sectional study examines students' and faculty members' perceptions on their use of active learning classrooms in a university in Singapore. The study targets students (398) and faculty (6) who use active learning classrooms -- Applied and Collaborative learning Environment (ACE) rooms. It investigated whether novelty to the learning…

Li, Yanhong; Yang, Harrison Hao; MacLeod, Jason; Dai, Jinjun – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
The multiple synchronous smart classroom learning environment (MSSC) is an alternative educational context that describes several active learning classrooms, connected through synchronous broadcasting technology. MSSC provides conceptually new capabilities to maximise both student learning and instructor efficiency. However, MSSC lacks an…

Bolden, Edward C., III.; Oestreich, Tina M.; Kenney, Michael J.; Yuhnke, Brian T., Jr. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2019
This article focuses on students' perceptions of small-group activities, discussion, and technology-based interactivity implemented in two different learning environments, namely, in a large, traditional lecture hall and in a smaller classroom. The Engaged Learning Index, developed by Schreiner and Louis, was used along with several items to…
