The Effects of Active Learning on Student’s Attitude and Performance

Alexis Lambert

The study’s purpose is to determine how engagement techniques, specifically group work and case studies, affect students' learning. Two sections of Psych 238 will be used in a quasi-experiment. The independent variable is whether students completed case studies in groups or individually. The outcomes are assessment performance, including the cases, attendance and student perceptions of active learning collected via survey. It is anticipated that engagement will predict better performance, although students may not favor it.
