Interactive Classroom: Why Use a Classroom Response System

Benefits Others have Seen Interactive engagement shows a 2  improvement in students learning mechanics over traditional lectures. Interactive engagement shows a 2  improvement in students learning mechanics over traditional lectures. Substantial impact on pre- versus post-test results in physics, astronomy, economics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and engineering Substantial impact on pre- versus post-test results in physics, astronomy, economics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and engineering Even more effective in conjunction with methods that induce thinking before lecture – Just in Time Teaching (JITT).

Benefits I have Seen Students read the textbook in detail. Students read the textbook in detail. Class Overall Averages up Class Overall Averages up (75-78 % versus 67-70%) (75-78 % versus 67-70%) Attendance typically 85+% Attendance typically 85+% Student’s interest level in science increases…many students decide to take more courses in physics as a result.
