Abstract: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of active learning classrooms and active learning strategies on students’ performance. Descriptive Statistics from the pilot study showed that instructors held positive views towards active learning classrooms. Despite also showing positive feelings, students’ perception of active learning classrooms did not appear to be as positive as their instructors. In the meantime, comparing the descriptive and Mann-Whitney U statistics on students’ perception, it appeared that students did not favor active learning classrooms over non-active learning classrooms. It is our goal to present findings of the main study at the time of 2023 AERA annual conference and show the results of a more comprehensive analysis on a larger dataset we have been collecting.
