Students’ Perceptions of Active Learning Classroom Community
Page: 477
Classroom community plays a pivotal role in student success, especially when students have the opportunity to interact with their peers and instructors. This study explores how students perceive classroom community and its impact on their learning. We present findings from an essay reflection assignment where students were asked to share their experiences with learning mathematics. We found that students felt more comfortable to ask questions and were able to develop interpersonal skills in conjunction with mathematical skills because of the classroom community. Conclusions drawn from this research can provide insights for instructors who are interested in fostering strong classroom communities in engaging learning environments.
