2. Active learning works
compared to students in traditional lectures, students in classes that employ active learning see their grades:
decrease
stay about the same
increase by a small but statistically significant amount
increase by half a letter grade
increase by a full letter grade
1 minute
Pose this multiple choice question. Have them commit to an answer by raising their hands or writing down a response. The result is on the next slide.

Reveal the answer. Then reveal that posing such questions to students is another good active learning technique. Have them reflect on the advantages of being forced to make a guess like that. At minimum, it forces them to consider the material more deeply. Plus, it draws on the natural human tendency to find out if they are right.

4. Active learning works
compared to students in classes that employ active learning, students in traditional lecture classes are how much more likely to fail the class?
1 minute
No gimmick here, but this is an important finding. Traditional lecture is just not as effective as active learning in general. Of note is the cited article is a big meta-analysis of lots of research on the effectiveness of active learning in STEM. Seriously, a couple of hundred studies agree on these findings. The results are similar in other disciplines, I just don’t have the nice, neat, single recent meta-analysis.

5. Active learning works
compared to students in classes that employ active learning, students in traditional lecture classes are 1.5X more likely to fail the class

8. Active learning works
Active learning is any instructional method that substantially engages the students in course content through active listening, talking, writing, reading, and reflecting. It involves the students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing. From Bonwell, C. & Eison, J. (1991). Active learning: Creating Excitement in the classroom. Washington D.C.: George Washington University.
