Short Description

While active learning classrooms can be a new overwhelming experience for faculty to teach, universities provide faculty development opportunities to help with the learning curve. However, students who end up choosing a course in an active learning classroom may not receive similar intentional classroom orientation opportunities. This study demonstrated the initial authentic experiences and challenges students reported while learning in active learning classrooms. A quantitative survey and qualitative focus group were implemented for this study.
