Exploring the Role of Active Learning in a Large-Scale Precalculus Class
Page: 1686
In a large undergraduate mathematics classroom, introducing evidence based learning practices can be challenging. Due to persisting outdated methods of teaching, results of recent research call for more investigation of active-learning in all STEM classrooms, including large scale ones. Using Fraser’s (1989) lens on perception, results from this study indicate that students who participated in Team Activities and other learner-centered activities in a large scale precalculus undergraduate class reported good experiences and are more positive in their attitudes towards mathematics.
