Transmission Interaction

PARADIGM

“Active Learning Increases Student Performance in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics,” Scott Freeman et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014.

Transmission vs. Interaction

• 228 studies comparing active learning to traditional lecturing

• Failure Rates: – Lecturing: 34% – Active Learning: 22%

• Exam Scores: – Active Learning: 6 points higher

How can individual instructors navigate the affordances and

constraints posed by the learning spaces in which they teach?

How might an instructor hack Classroom #1, 2, or 3?

How can colleges and universities work to advance the design of

learning environments given campus infrastructure limitations?

1. What constraints or challenges do you face on your campus when it comes to creating active learning environments?

2. How might you or others on your campus work within those constraints or around those challenges?
