Elise M. Walck-Shannon; Heather D. Barton; Shaina F. Rowell; Douglas L. Chalker; Angela Fink – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Recently, our course team transformed a large-enrollment introductory genetics course from being predominantly lecture based to active learning based. During class sessions, students engaged in problem solving, which occurs when a student attempts to solve a problem without knowing the path to complete it. We designed class activities…

David C. Johnson; Marcie Coulter-Kern – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2025
Research shows that active-learning methods (e.g. discussion) are often superior to passive methods (e.g. lecture) with respect to learning outcomes. However, students sometimes report preferring and learning more in lecture-style classes compared to those in which they play an active role. These and related findings suggest students may lack…

Kartika Yulianti – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
It is widely known that project-based learning helps students enhance their general and subject-specific competencies. Project-based learning approach emphasizes the active role of the learners by applying knowledge rather than absorbing it. In addition, project-based learning fosters the development of 21st century skills such as critical and…

Karen Ho; Yen Luong; Carl Sherwood; Douglas B. Clark – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Many students find introductory general chemistry courses difficult because they feel alienated by traditional approaches to teaching and learning. This can become particularly problematic in laboratory sessions where students simply follow processes and procedures that students can view as being mundane and lacking creativity. Contextualised…

Alex K. Manda – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
This study explores the relationship between the self-confidence and content knowledge of undergraduate students in a large enrollment geoscience course following an active-learning think-pair-share (TPS) activity, and whether high confidence necessarily leads to overconfidence. We used a pre-experimental, one group pre-test -- post-test design,…

Nosek, Sarah; Goldman, Brin – College Teaching, 2023
A majority of American adults value the role that art plays in education at the K-12 level. However, the potential benefits of arts-based, kinesthetic learning activities have not been well-documented at the college level. Twenty-three undergraduate students participated in passive learning, traditional active learning activities and arts-based…

Jennifer Calabrese – Journal of Occupational Therapy Education, 2023
Active learning strategies are being increasingly valued by instructors and implemented in higher education. However, mixed outcomes exist regarding learning, exam results, and student preferences for active learning compared to traditional lectures. A convenience sample of 26 first-year graduate students participated in a study that examined the…

Nick Clark; John A. Scherpereel – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Scholars of teaching and learning frequently examine whether simulations promote content knowledge and engagement with course material. But many educators use simulations to promote additional goals. This article suggests that designers of political simulations often pursue four ends: "knowledge, engagement, skills, and empathy (KESE)."…

Poe, Laura; Mew, Lionel – Industry and Higher Education, 2022
The objective of traditional software development courses focuses on competencies in the programming languages and technical tools. Project methodologies and software development are typically taught as theory-driven and separate courses in Information Systems undergraduate programs. Rather than teaching project methodologies as secondary to the…
